Hello, I'm trying to understand how USB works on Linux and I'm getting confused about special devices: - Documentation/devices.txt says that major 189 is for "USB serial converters - alternate devices" but any usb device seems to have this major (as I figure out from /dev/usb/00x/00x kind of special file). Am I right in assuming that devices.txt lags? - looking in the source I can see that 2 majors are defined for USB #define USB_MAJOR 180 #define USB_DEVICE_MAJOR 189 Could someone tell me which one is used when? - if I want to write a user side driver, do I have to use /proc/bus/usb/00x/00x or /dev/usb/00x/00x? What are the differences?
