+
+the patch removes the previous workaround that converts - in module filenames, 
+to _ . it's removed because if a module is selected manually, it's made from 
+filenames. so the - must match.
+
+maybe if a module isn't selected manually, it comes from lstdetect or udev or 
+whatever it comes from... maybe your module is wrong... like that the modules 
+are called ehci-hcd and the filename is called ehci_hcd ? it would be nice to 
+know... if you can find a working setup (older livecd) and give an lsmod, we 
+might be able to deduce that. from whatever modules you need.
+
+in any case, with this hardware, did the previous beta work?
