Thanx for your tips! It turned out that the module is a driver for a Sentinel dongle on the parallel port. However, Sentinel supports Linux very poorly and only delivers a module for kernel version 1.x! We are now evaluating the possibility to use HASP dongles because they support Linux much better (USB, SuSE specific kernels...) Anyway, thanx again for your tips. I learned something today about major/minor numbers! Regards Harry

There should be a possibility to report those numbers, but I have not found it in Linux. (HP is great with "ioscan").
cat /proc/devices will give you a list of all major numbers for which there are currently drivers loaded. ioscan, as far as I know, will scan the actual hardware, but the PC world has more varied and unstandardized hardware. Nevertheless, SuSE has "hwscan", which will report on just about everything.
