It is actually kind of fun, because everyone that has ever written one has just followed a skeleton structure of a preexisting module. They are all alike and all different and all varying sizes and amounts of complexity and simplicity at the same time. In other words: the source for the device driver is likely to be the most straight-forward part of your kernel for you to just jump into and experiment with... Unless you don't compile the kernel yourself. In that case, I don't know if this would help."}
