this source is well documented, and if you are about to know the internals
of a linux network driver, you must look at a "skeleton driver", skeleton.c, 
that is very well documented.

You can try the book Linux Device Drivers, by Alessandro Rubini, too.
It's almost out dated (2.0->2.2) but it will help you understand some
kernel internals and the lastest changes.
