No, it cannot mean that. You get ENOENT (No such file or directory) if
the device node doesn't exist in the filesystem. If you see ENODEV (No
such device), then the device node has major/minor number which the
kernel does not recognize as a valid device, i.e. you haven't compiled
in the driver or loaded the module.
