Ah, to do that you need to pass a device major:minor to the function you used to create your struct device in the kernel. But usually that is done already by the class-specific code that your device uses to talk to the rest of the kernel (input, misc, network, etc.) What type of device is this? And have you properly hooked it up to the class for it? If it is its "own" class, then you need to create your own device to have it show up properly. Use device_create() to do this.
