Maybe it would be better if you describe what you actually want to do?I'm not sure that you really should write a device driver in the kernel...
well, for "serious" work (for now) it will be ...., I agree ;=) I want to get my feet wet - for now.I followed the docs about pseudo devices: got it working, played with it and feel (almost) happy. The primary idea is to do something like a "remote disk" (knowing, that there is puffs / refuse)
I think, Mathias Scheler's hint to pud(4) is the way to go - even more, as there is an example in the sources.
Thanks Richard

( if so, please tell me where to ask ;=)trying to make a pseudo device, I would like to connect to a remote server.However, I was told, it is not possible to do so from a driver ... (actually I am pretty novice with device drivers) So here is the question: writing a pseudo device, can I open and use a socket ? Thanks for your help regards Richard Kästner Baden / Austria
