I have a user Application for transferring the data from one PC to the other PC using Ethernet Port, can we create a device driver for that ?? that means it should act like a virtual device, if we write data into /dev/some file, it should go the other PC
View 3 RepliesI'm a starter here in linux, I have written a driver code and in that, I register my character devices by passing 0 for the major number.
To set up I used to use mknod command from terminal to create node,
Is there any method to create node dynamically from driver code during initialization and delete them at cleanup time?

I'm assuming that it can't find a driver for a cdrom - but I am not too sure of that.
I did searched you tube but my results were not great.I have 2 books on KernelProgramming.I feel I need if some where I can get a video tutorial which can help me to understand how to develop a Linux Device driver that will be great.I had a look at Greg Kroah Hartmans video lecture of developing patches on ......I have been reading books and a lot of stuff.So I wish if I could get a video lecture that would be better

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to try to create my own virtual device in Linux. Something simple, for example, a /dev/fortune virtual device that returns a line from fortune() each time you read from it.
I am willing to do my own research and study, I just need to know where to start. E.g., what to read or what to google, in order to get me where I want to go the fastest. I have some C/C++ and Ruby background.
I know, I know..."How long is a piece of string"?
I have one of these devices:

Of course, it's Windows only, and XP only at that. However, the data that needs transferred between the device and the computer should be fairly basic, unless it offloads a lot of processing to the computer. I'm not a programmer, nor do I play one on TV, but I have written some fairly complicated microcontroller programs and some basic Java GUIs. Besides writing the actual code, how hard is it to do whatever needs done to make a Linux device driver, apart from the code to make the device work?
Is there an easy example of a block device driver I could follow as a guide to write my own module?

When I make the WLAN driver, I get this:
I wanted to create an user but don't allow it to see the other user's home folder so I made chmod 0750 /home/folder and it worked fine so I went ahead and decided to completely forbid access to the root folder and I had the "great" idea to make chmod 0750 /, and now I'm having problems with wine and other applications, in example I used to have a folder in this address 209.239.114.51/mmgr but now it's giving me errors and if I try to run some applications I got error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal"
