Not true, you can get new numbers. Don't put things that should be in /dev into /proc, not allowed. > So placing it in /proc doesn't seem to me such a bad idea. No. Actually, put it in sysfs, and then udev will create your /dev node for you automatically. And in sysfs you can put your other stuff (version, etc.) which is the proper place for it. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
