Anyone know where I can find a listing/explanation of all the devices listed in /dev?
The /dev files are all listed in /etc/makedev.d/*, which
are the configuration files for the /dev/MAKEDEV program
which created the devices.

The allocation of device numbers is coordinated by
 http://www.lanana.org/

The corresponding kernel module for a device number
can be found by asking the kernel module system:

  modprobe -c | grep 'alias .*-major-'

This won't list all allocations (as not all devices are
handled by modules, at least yet).  Specific modules are
documented all over the place, /usr/src/linux*/Docuementation
being a reasonable starting point.
