The usual answer is > to take one of the existing drivers and work out what it does. There's also Look at the DaemonNews (www.daemonnews.org), the Blueprints column. If I remember the months correctly, in the July 2000 issues there is an introduction into FreeBSD device drivers by Alexander Langner, and in June and August issues there are my articles on CAM (SCSI) drivers and ISA device drivers respectively. There also were articles on the Netgraph networking subsystem and on writing drivers as modules. I believe that these articles have been turned into sections of the Handbook as well but I'm not sure where exectly in Handbook they are. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
