Hello. This is the first time that I try to do a hardware related programming, (if I ever will start and finish it...) I'm currently have no knowledge of that kind of programming, but I'd like to learn! If I'd like to write a device driver for a given card, could you tell me, where I could read something about it (how to implement the interface to the kernel, where to place and name the files and so on). I read something about a device-driver tutorial under www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ddwg, but it seems, that this page isn't there anymore. And maybe you could give me a tip, whats the best point to start, a linux-device-driver, something like a specification of the different chips on the card (it seems, that there is no documentation of the card from the manufacturer), or could I listen on the data, which is posted between the system and the driver under windows? whatever... Thanks in advance for any help or answer, -- Joachim.Jaeckel@d.kamp.net -- http://home.kamp.net/home/joachim.jaeckel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
