BTW: since, ehm - not sure, linux 2.2.15pre or so, you can specify
an 'alias paride_procotoll your_preferred_protocoll' in the
modules.conf. so you can let epat get loaded automatically, when
paride is loaded.

Hmm..shouldn't this automatically load paride? :)

If MAKEDEV doesn't know, how to create device 'foo', you've to
manually create it with 'mknod'. MAKEDEV is just a frontend for
mknod...
see man mknod and Documentation/paride.txt (there a sample script
for creating these special devices).
