Hello, But the registeration of the char device is done at the module loading time (module_init), and in the example i told you, the driver lp was'nt already loaded and was loaded AFTER the app. opened a device file of the same major number used by the "lp" driver. I dont know what to say. At one hand, I am quite happy with the fact that so many people are so willing to help me out but on the other hand I am getting quite pissed-off by the fact that they dont care to read my questions carefully and tell me trivial stuff I already know. Please take this comment positively. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
