As part of the documentation, we've made a technical report available that outlines what we learnt whilst transitioning from noob kernel hackers to guys that have a (partial) clue. The report is certainly a useful reference for us and people working at our research centre. We hope it will also be a useful reference for the community to point people at who are new to kernel hacking. The report's title is "An Introduction to FreeBSD 6 Kernel Hacking" and has been released as Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures Technical Report 070622A. The code distributions and technical report can be grabbed from http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/ under the "Tools" and "Papers" sections respectively. If you find a use for the code or any bugs in the code/documentation, we'd be very happy to hear from you. Cheers, Lawrence
