Learn to program in C.  Read "The Design and Implementation of the
FreeBSD Operating System" from front to back (probably more than
once).  If there are topics you don't understand, research them
futher.

If you haven't written code, and don't know the OS, you have a long
road ahead, and writing a device driver probably isn't going to be
your first successful project.  So get busy.
