Hi, Can somebody clarify a question that i have ?
Say under 2.4 kernel, char device drivers had a minor number of int. In the 2.6 kernels, this number was increased to 20 bits from 8 bits. Under 2.6 i could use "mknod -c major, minor".
How can i achieve something similar with 2.6 taking into consideration that i have to create more than 255 minors ?
Regards, Manu
