i was wondering why some device nodes appear as regular files under /dev (like ulpt or da e.g.) and some don't?
if i attach my usb dongle device i get this dmesg output: ugen1.2: <vendor 0x0a12> at usbus1 ubt0: <vendor 0x0a12 product 0x0001, class 224/1, rev 2.00/15.93, addr 2> on usbus1 but no device node gets created under /dev. however the following lines i have in my /etc/devd.conf work just as expected: # When a USB Bluetooth dongle appears activate it attach 100 { device-name "ubt[0-9]+"; action "/etc/rc.d/bluetooth quietstart $device-name"; action "/usr/local/bin/obexapp -r /var/spool/obex -s -C1"; }; detach 100 { device-name "ubt[0-9]+"; action "/etc/rc.d/bluetooth quietstop $device-name"; action "/usr/bin/killall obexapp"; }; the device works perfectly, but i'm still wondering why no device node gets created in /dev. i always thought one of the main unix philosophies was: "everything is a file!". cheers. alex _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
