Really depends on what you'd like to do...
If you're serious about contributing to the Linux Kernel development effort lurk on the linux-kernel list. Exhausting, but well worth the effort. You'll soon get a grip on what's currently being worked on, who maintains what, what needs to be done...
If you're simply interested in writing a device driver for Linux for yourself, or your employer...

Rubini and Corbet ("Linux Device Drivers", 2nd edition recommended) includes many samples you could work through.
"Linux Device Drivers" and "Understanding the Linux Kernel" (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxdrive2/) work well together. I've been reading them concurrently while working on my first Linux device driver.
