Static Driver Loading Issue
To load the driver at boot time I added my driver name in /etc/modules.
Next I copied the driver to /lib/modules/2.6.34.12/kernel/drivers/char/.

But when I reboot the machine the drriver does not get loaded.
What am I missing and how to load the driver at boot time?

What do you mean by "static driver"? Most kernel modules are not static; they are loadable. Static drivers are compiled into kernel.

Murphy I meant the same.
I want my driver to load at boot time and for that we will have to compile it in kernel.
How to do this?

It may ask to change kernel parameters for compilation... what driver are you trying to install? I still wonder if you understand this time - If static, that means you will have to compile - not your driver - but a new kernel...
therefore it will no more be a module but more a kernel builtin. It will be built in the new kernel.
