Porting drivers to 2.5 [LWN.net]

Last week's Kernel Page included the first articles in a series on porting device drivers (and other kernel code) to the 2.5 kernel. These articles are an offshoot of the work to update the Linux Device Drivers sample code (and then, of course, the book itself). Three more articles have been added to the series; one of them, which fills in more information on porting to the new module loader, appears below. The other two (on miscellaneous changes and the seq_file interface) can be read separately.

These articles will be collected at lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting as the series continues to develop. With luck, they will become a useful resource for the kernel development community. Stay tuned...
