If you want to use a device file, you should to configure at the /etc/modules.conf this device file and the module that control it, so when you open the device (at your C program) the module will be loaded For example, I have a ts3121 module, and some files with the major 61 to control it so in my /etc/modules.conf i have the following lines alias char-major-61 ts3121 options ts3121 io=0x200 base=0xd0000 irq=5 debug=1 So when i open the device file (with major 61) the module ts3121 is loaded in the kernel if it isn`t loaded yet I hope this help -- Hasta otra!
