I've done my reading which includes LDD3 (almost all chapters), bunch of articles at Linuxjournal, few driver codes in Linux source ( 8139cp.c, loopback.c etc). The code flow makes sense to me but I really am not comfortable with the code which is hardware specific. > If I had a device driver with its manufacturer's specification, it would be helpful for me to understand various design issues for a particular hardware; at least it will provide me an example. I couldn't find any. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance. I think the Realtek 8139 chipset's HW specification is open. I remember it was some PDF file that I got off google. You can try that I guess
http://gkernel.sourceforge.net/specs/realtek/ There are several others in the specs directory. I think everything there is open. FYI: Not everything in the specs folder is a nic spec, but many of them are.
