Hi,

Snarky answer: You forget about 2.4 and use 2.6.
Slightly less snarky answer: You look at one of the other drivers and
copy the way they do it.
Serious question: Why are you developing *anything* for 2.4, these days?

I'd say that this depends on which operations you'd like the kernel
interface to support for your device. Tell us more; I for one have no
idea what a computer-controlled spectrometer _does_, and I'm certainly
not alone in that.
