Hi Michael,
Thank you for reply. The way I created the character device was by 
adding /etc/udev/rules.d/90-ib.rules, unloading the ib kernel modules, 
reloading them again, and restarting the udev, which is the same way 
described in the wiki (detailed sequence of commands is shown below). I 
am not sure what i am doing wrong. Please advise.

Thank you,
Lamia
