Subject: linux device drivers - new oreilly


i got it about a week ago.. only read the first 4 chapters, but it seems
to be pretty good.. _lots_ of typos, but other than that, its pretty
comprehensive - concentrates on linux2.0, but tells you about
inconsistancies with 1.2 and theres a big chapter on relevant 
modifications up to v2.1.43.  covers char, block and net devices, how to
respond to irq's, implementing mmaps, ioctls, /proc's, etc
always tries to be architecture independant, etc

all in all, very good - the typos aren't too bad, since they are pretty
obvious, but the second edition should be excellent
