Re: lsmod Used count

Hi all,

  To my understanding, all the devices are classified as either of the following:

   char (single char) , block (fixed size of chunk) and network (variable size of chunk)...

   And all the SCSI devices are accessed via /dev interface only (correct me if i am wrong).

   Only network devices are not accesible via /dev and will come different path of stack (TCP/IP or whatever).

   Is this a correct understanding??

When drivers have char. or block devices than its
fine.
What about SCSI, network, USB drivers which are not
accessed via /dev interface and instead they are
access directly by diff. process and come through
different paths.
