Sorry; I was referring more to the CONFIG_ options rather than the
module names. I am surprised about the module renaming, but I guess it
had to happen sooner or later, so we could stop having to do 'modprobe
blah-blah'  ... "drat"... 'modprobe blah_blah'. 

I had very little trouble getting my laptop running on the new 2.6 - I
just installed the new modutils and rebooted into the new kernel, then
fixed up a few modules not being loaded and such.
