Message-ID: <1993Jul7.151912.14187@news.uta.edu> Sender: news@news.uta.edu (USENET News System) Nntp-Posting-Host: cse.uta.edu Organization: Computer Science Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1993 15:19:12 GMT Lines: 26 I am making my first attempt at writing a character device driver and would like to find some information on the data structures in the kernel and on the 3com ethernet board. I have just purchased _Writing UNIX Device Drivers_ by George Pajari and it seems to be a good book but it's for System V, and obviously the internal structures of the two kernels are different. I also have the demon book. Is there any place else I can find information, specifically on the NetBSD kernel data structures, and some info on the 3com board. I would also like to know where to find the reference made on page 411 of the demon book: Leffler & Karels, 1986. S. J. Leffler & M. J. Karels, "Building Berkeley UNIX Systems with Config," pp. 2:1-32 in _UNIX System Manager's Manual, 4.3 Berkeley Software Distribution, Virtual VAX-11 Version,_ USENIX Association, Berkeley, CA (1986). and the source to config. -- Thanks, Shane Holder sholder@cse.uta.edu
