No. That is now handled by udev and sysfs. What I was saying about was that the driver writer need not know how the kernel handles devices internally(using major and minor numbers). The concept of major and minor numbers does not seem to cook well now a days. Does it? Jinesh. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
