Considering that the main use of that file that I know about was implicit (usbfs is available if its files are present, another assumption broken in 2.5), I'm not sure I feel any pain... :-) > Is this file _really_ used?

Actually it does more than that ... it tells you what minor numbers are assigned to the drivers _currently loaded_ which means that it's not really useful the instant someone plugs in another device. You can't use it to allocate numbers or tell what /dev/file/name matches a given device ... so what is its value, other than providing a limited minor number counterpart to /proc/devices? (Which, confusingly, doesn't list devices but major numbers.) - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
