But fundamentals remain often the same by the time, even if their functions change the name of their paramaters or their structures change or delete one field. You can find very important things about the kernel API in the book Linux Device Driver (third version). But they describe the API on the 2.6.10 kernel. As soon as such a book is released, it becomes obsolete. But this book is still relevant. As I said, the fundamentals mostly remain the same. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
