    Device Driver - failed to open

    Hi,

    I am new to developing Linux device drivers.
    I have written a virtual device driver (char driver). After inserting its module (by insmod) I can see it in the /dev directory.
    However, in my application when I try to open the device using "open", it returns -1. The returned errno is 6 (ENXIO).

    Am I missing something?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Regards,
    Mickey

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Post your code here for the initialization of the library as well as for the open command.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
