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??


AFAIK bus drivers like SCSI, PCI express, and Filesystem drivers &
certain other misc drivers like hotplug driver etc may also not be
directly accessible through /dev.
