oh.. I couldn't find a sample of config file for dgap module in web. Thanks.

I'm not sure about using module param and udev. I think config file
used when firmware
is loaded. Is it possible to call dgap_firmware_load after init? It
means dgap_firmware_load() calls by
ioctl in user-land application with configuration data about board. If
it has parameter for initialize this module, then use module param.
Just my opinion. :-)
Thanks.
