That's because modules.alias enables to match through wildchars. eg for ehci (see either /sbin/modinfo ehci_pci or "fgrep ehci /lib/modules/3.8.3-desktop-2.mga3/modules.alias"): alias pci:v0000104Ad0000CC00sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ehci_pci alias pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i20* ehci_pci That means that ehci matches both: - 0x104A 0xCC00 (probably a device that reports a broken/bogus class) - any PCI device whose class is PCI_CLASS_SERIAL_USB_EHCI Note that for this one: - lsmod reports ehci_pci - modinfo reports the real fs path: ehci-pci - lspci -vvk reports: ehci-pci
