Subject: Why does the Comtrol Rocketport card not have a major assigned?
Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 21:55:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021204205525.GE2544@fs.tum.de> (raw)
Perhaps it's a silly question but I'd like to know why it is the way it
is:
The 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5 kernels include a driver for the Comtrol Rocketport
card (drivers/char/dtlk.c) which uses a local major (it does a
"register_chrdev(0, "dtlk", &dtlk_fops);
). Is there a reason why it doesn't have a fixed major assigned?
TIA
Adrian
