I *know* how a device file may be created, that was not the question. What I asked for was the "right" or "best" way to create the standard devices for a hardware driver driver. I'm assuming 'mknod' on the command driver is not it, since I didn't do that for the SCSI modules, or audio, or
that was not the question. How can the device creation process be automated? And to a certain extent also: Where do the device files from other standard or optional hardware/drivers come from?
