Ubuntu doesn't want packages to create static device nodes, rather it requires that modules should have code that (along with udev) would create the appropriate device nodes when the module gets modprobe'd (or a device get attached). Yet it seems that such code doesn't exist (or is disabled) in slamr/slusb for some license issues (which I am not sure if they are right or wrong). Anyways, if indeed license issues forbid that slamr/slusb (since they are not strict GPL) contain such code. Someone suggested that each of slamr/slusb code could be split into two further modules (one that is GPL and hence can contain code to create appropriate device nodes), and the other part wouldn't have to be GPL. He mentioned atheros as an example. -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0x9DCA0B27 (@ subkeys.pgp.net) GPG Fingerprint: 087D 3767 8CAC 65B1 8F6C 156E D325 C3C8 9DCA 0B27
