Re: MAJOR number
Piggybacking on that request... I also need a major number. I had requested one some time ago, but it apparently got lost in the shuffle. The device is a Specialix I/O8+ multiport serial card. I've been using it for some weeks now without problems. For now the driver is -stable only; I'll port it to 5.x when I can test it there. When I have a major number, I'll submit the driver for official inclusion in -stable. -- Frank Mayhar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Are you doing a -stable release of the driver? or just a -current? You only need a major number if you are doing a -stable release, otherwise in -current you just don't specify the major number in your cdevsw, and devfs will now automaticly assign you one when you create your device node...
