Dear All,
wasn't sure just who to send this to so perhaps one of you lead
developer types would like to put it in the proper place (trash can
included if you so desire)?
This patch allows the Linux kernel module to use a dynamically allocated
major device number. This is to assist people with several development
modules on the loose in so much as it should reduce clashes. To achieve
this, I have also provided a couple of short helper scripts (sorry to
the shell hackers - I mainly do C) to load and unload the module,
creating and deleting the correct device node as required. I have also
updated the README file to this end.
If you don't want this, no problem -forward it to the trash can.
If you do, please add the appropriate copyrights for the project etc.
Bryan
p.s.
The latest cvs (got a copy last night 28/03/00) runs OK on my smp box.
