That's the end of /sys/i386/conf/majors.i386: 75 stli Stallion (intelligent cdk based) (gerg@stallion.oz.au) 76 scc IBM Smart Capture Card (ohashi@mickey.ai.kyutech.ac.jp) 77 cyy Cyclades Ye/PCI serial card 78 gd Geometry disk So it seems 79 will be the next one. Since you need to #define it at the beginning of your driver anyway (gee, maybe somebody will write a devfs_next_major() some day?), it shouldn't be a bid deal to change this later. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
