Just a wild guess: are you sure you've hooked up your
ioctl() function to the struct cdevsw, i.e. something
like this?
static struct cdevsw yourdevice_cdevsw = {
.d_version = D_VERSION,
.d_read = yourdevice_read,
.d_write = yourdevice_write,
.d_ioctl = yourdevice_ioctl, /* <--- or just ioctl? */
.d_name = "yourdevice",
};
Perhaps you could ask on freebsd-hackers@ list instead?
