Hi all,
I am new to device drivers. Can anyone suggest me
some simple network driver examples(which deal with
real interface)to start with. What H/W details I need
to know to write a driver on my own.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Deepika

via-rhine is a very simple driver.
pci-skeleton is also a good place to start playing with.

How about /usr/src/linux-whatever/drivers/net/pcnet32.c
This does about all the stuff that a network driver would have
to do. It's also quite readable, obviously written by people
who know how.
Cheers,
