There's also some info in chapter 2 of "Linux Device Drivers, Third Edition" - http://lwn.net/images/pdf/LDD3/ch02.pdf Then there's The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide - http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/ As well as the Linux Loadable Kernel Module HOWTO - http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/ Also take a look at the file Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt in your kernel source dir. That's just a little bit of reading material for you :) -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
