Bug Description

It seems to me like ubuntu-drivers-common should be able to match modaliases from devices and packages regardless of case; for instance:

alias pci:v000014E4d000043B1sv*sd*bc02sc80i* wl

is the same as

alias pci:v000014E4d000043b1sv*sd*bc02sc80i* wl

Both should match against the same device: 14e4:43b1, which appears to show as uppercase on wily.

Good point. The current code (i.e. fnmatch.fnmatch()) is case sensitive because the OS is.

I've just committed a fix in our git branch. The first step would be to upload this to xenial.

It seems to me that we need to backport the fix to Wily. If so, are there any bugs triggered by this problem?

  * debian/tests/system: Explicitly require version 1.0 of UMockdev, to avoid
    a warning on stderr.
