Package: kernel-source-2.6.10
Version: 2.6.10-5
Severity: normal


  Hello !

  I just did notice that the new/old packet writing support doesn't provide it's own device major 
number, namely 97, so the whole stuff is unusable. 

  Just adding

	pkt_major = 97;

after the beginning of int pkt_init(void) does the trick.

  Could it be fixed, or would there be a better way to fix it ?

  Thanks

	Vincent Fourmond
