FYI, the driver and the device files are not the same thing. So for getting your driver into the kernel, you dont need to get the device into it. 2. The device files are not part of the kernel and thus you should not try to do put it inside the kernel. Having said that, this rule/law did'nt hold true when devfs (which is what you are using) came into the act but it is now deprecated in favour of udev (a user-space utility) and should not be used anymore. Please consult the literature on hotplug and udev for further details. -------------------- "All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is a constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume." -- Noam Chomsky -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
