Device Driver DYNAMIC MAJOR NUMBER ASSIGNMENT
Hi all,

I am a begniner in Linux Device Driver.

I am registering major number for device driver...
Problem is that while inserting the module and
removing the module from the linux kernel.
Each & Every time I am getting dynamic major numbers
like 253,252,251,249 etc...

I want to build one device file using

mknod <device name> c <major number> <minor number>

But as you know I dont know the major number as it is
a dynamic one...
So Is there any solution for this problem?????


Regards,
Ashwin Mittal.
