What kind of Linux drivers use major device numbers 238 or 510?

Do you know the driver name for those?

Maybe the lshw I asked for will help explain that.

If not, we'll have to di into the dmesg output.

Since we know the E810 is a network card, with no GNSS on it, what is
the device you are really working on?
