kudzu: Device major mismatch

[Toralf Lund]

To add auto detection/automatic driver setup for a frame grabber board which has a custom Linux driver. I've managed to get kudzu to add the following line:

alias char-major-81 itifg

to /etc/modules.conf

However, after loading the module I get

cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
[ ... ]
254 itifg

In other words the module registers itself with major id. 254, while I would assume 81 from the modules.conf entry. Any ideas why? How exactly does kudzu determine device ids?
