It's easy if a module contains an alias for another.

$ sudo modprobe -v nls_iso8859-8
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_cp1255.ko

$ modinfo nls_cp1255
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_cp1255.ko
alias:          nls_iso8859-8
license:        Dual BSD/GPL
srcversion:     E508C476CCC10CC67450651
depends:        
vermagic:       2.6.22-14-generic SMP mod_unload 586
