There's no point sending in an incomplete version of the code. What about putting them somewhere in a CVS repository, so people can see what's going on and maybe even can help out? BTW you should really do something about your coding style, your code is very confusing to read. I wouldn't care if it would be just some driver, but devfs is supposed to be a very important part, so it would be nice to use the same rules that apply to other important parts of the kernel. bye, Roman - 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/
