with ls -l you are checking the device file - no such device means that there
is no driver in the kernel (its just like when you try to do an open on
/dev/rtf0 without rtl_fifo.o loaded). The device file actually is only there
to associate a human readable name like /dev/rtc with a major number
and a device type (character or block) so that the kernel knows which
device drivers fileoperation to call when you attempt an open of /dev/rtc.
If the device is not recognized then you most likely don't have it configured
in your kernel config.
