Hi,
  i am porting a driver from 2.4 to 2.6.

   I went thru the porting guide available in lwn.net. some parts of
the document is difficult to follow for begineers.


  am confused.

  Could any one let me know what changes i need to make in a 2.4 driver
  as far as /proc interface is concerned.

  Should i make any new additions to support sysfs?.  am cofused
regarding the need
  of sysfs when /proc is already there.


  Could anyone help me on this.

  pointers will be very helpful.


Regards,
sriram
