Magnificent! I'll probably wear this book out! - By: scruffy bob, 04 Jun 2008
This book starts by covering the kernel architecture, placing drivers in their context & discussing the support structures that exist for them, with that start everything else follows naturallly, & logicallly.

This book is bang up to date & addresses every significant class of driver, & many of the idiosyncrasies of the driver models. While old hands will know much of this material already, this is the one stop reference for 90% of the details you'll need for the task in hand, & has excellent pointers for where to find the rest.

This is one of the best "working knowledges" available on paper, & is both a great starting point on the road of experience, as well as a worthy reference for those en-route.
