Thanks for all the answers. Although I was interested in up to date information, I am actually working on an existing 2.4 module, that currently reads run-time parameters using ioctl. I played a little with procfs, but it seems rather similar to an ioctl (a little safer maybe, but basically similar). I will check out netlink sockets too.
In the mean time, I read a little on sysfs, and it seems it's the recommended way on 2.6, as it combines the type-safety of /proc with a structured clean interface. Quoting Love's "linux kernel development": "sysfs is currently /the place /for implementing functionality previously reserved for ioctl() calls on device nodes or the procfs filesystem ... Such an approach avoids the type-unsafe use of obscure ioctl() arguments and the haphazard mess of /proc" Pity I am on 2.4 ;-).
