I used this module many times, but now I've got a machine were it gives the error message: "unable to get major number" Some pointers: MajorNumber is the the Device Driver as registered in the kernel. Devices are made up up of major numbers(kernel) and minor numbers (hw-pointer) There should be a possibility to report those numbers, but I have not found it in Linux. (HP is great with "ioscan"). My "off-the-cuff" idea would be that the driver is somehow not properly registered, or you need a devicefile of sorts (man mknod) Any more details on this ?
HTH a little bit Dan
