What is your goal in redoing this? Why would a user/developer ever need to mess with udev on their own anymore? Ideally, it should all "just work" now, and I think it does given your previous emails about the confusion as to how your driver was automagically creating the correct device nodes without any help from you :) thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
