Those might be clone devices, in which case the major number is that of the "clone device" and the minor number is, if I correctly remember the STREAMS clone device code from when I last looked at it in the late 1980's/early 1990's, the major device number of the device being cloned. > and found that using /dev/sp (aka running tcpdump -isp0) will make the > kernel panic. Well, that's a bit gross; even if the device *isn't* a DLPI device it should fail more gracefully. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
