Hi,

I'm a little confused about major and minor device
number. When writing device driver, how to use them?

Thanks,

Belinda

You probably want to read "how to write a linux device driver" which is
probably at http://www.kernelnewbies.org...

The documentation isn't named exactly as mentioned above, but it's similar...
