Hello everyone, 

	I am interested in writing a device driver for a CANBus controller card. I am 
famillier with driver writing on other platforms but have never attempted it 
on FreeBSD (dispite using FreeBSD for about 14 years). Is there any good 
refernce, or a DDK, or maybe even a book that describes the various kernel 
interfaces I will need? (PCI configuration, getting call-backs from the OS, 
etc) I have taken a look at the "Writing drivers" section of the handbook, 
but found the information to be rather thin. 

	Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated

Ken
