Re: accuracy of the book "essential linux device drivers"?

I think that most of the changes are either new code for feature additions or bug fixes.
Most of the ideas remain the same. Its a good book to understand how devices
work and the code that makes them work with Linux.

I haven`t read the book but it`s really hard to have some "accurate"
book about linux kernel. Linux changes a lot, it`s good to read the
book and test it with the used linux version, then verify some newer
version to compare the changes.
