I have a driver that was provided by the manuf. of a PCI I/O board; the driver was written for earlier linux kernels.
I have ported the driver to compile successfully under 2.6.24... but its install scrip is pre-udev. I need some help on either either a script to manually create the /dev entries; or preferred, to add the custom driver to udev.
the driver compiles and installs correctly, but /dev nodes are excluded as the installer seems to be based on a static /dev directory. does the driver code have to be modified to create the nodes when the module loads; or can linking the nodes to the kernel module be done externally of driver code?
thanks for any help
