Minor numbers under 2.6

[Manu Abraham]

Hi,
	Can somebody clarify a question that i have ?

	Say under 2.4 kernel, char device drivers had a minor number of int. In the 
2.6 kernels, this number was increased to 20 bits from 8 bits. Under 2.6 i 
could use "mknod -c major, minor". 

	How can i achieve something similar with 2.6 taking into consideration that i 
have to create more than 255 minors ?


Regards,
Manu
