In addition check out jmg's 2006 BSDCan Presentation: > http://www.bsdcan.org/2006/papers/freebsd.device.driver.slides.pdf > http://www.bsdcan.org/2006/papers/freebsd.driver.pdf Also a tutorial I gave at BSDCan this year: http://www.bsdcan.org/2009/schedule/track/Tutorial/146.en.html And a video of that can be bought here: https://www.mckusick.com/courses/netorderform.html Note that this is about network device drivers using the igb (Intel Gigabit Ethernet) driver as the example.
