Hi, This is the first time I am writing a mail to this group. Please excuse me if I violate any of the protocols of this group. I am interested in writing Network Device Driver. To begin with I have bought and studied the "Linux Device Drivers" book. For better understanding of the driver, I have gone through the code in 3c509.c (Driver code for 3c509 device) but couldn't understand the probing function. It (probing function) contains calls to pnp_find_dev, pnp_device_attach etc. The code says that these functions were called for ISA PNP devices. Can anybody tell where I can find the full set of these functions with detailed explanation? I found some ISAPNP functions like isapnp_find_dev etc. for ISA PNP devices. I don't know why pnp_find_dev function is used for ISA PNP devices in 3c509.c file. Can anybody tell me where to use which? Also please tell me which is the best driver code file to look at as a beginner? To write the device drivers, do we need to know about the PCI, ISA PNP etc. architectures?
