Please wrap lines at 70 characters.

You can find sources for various loadable drivers here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev

take a look at the 'amr' and 'xl' directories for some examples.

FreeBSD also comes with some documentation for writing device drivers:

man -k device

ought to give you a start.
