To remind you Linus Travolds said on August 1991 "
When men were men and used to write their own device drivers."
The above reply is not an encouraging one...Though I'm a newbie to LQ but its not the case with my programming skills...
I don't know wat has been your experience with drivers but I hv tried my hands successfully in few of the drivers given in the above metioned books...I'm quite familiar with the dangers of system getting crashed and have faced a few times while testing drivers using [i]insmod[i/] but those were smaller modules that too in UNIX environment ...n only because of the problems I wanted the advice on writing Linux Drivers...
You can't swim just by throwing yourself in water you need someone to teach you...
So don't think that I have just gone through these books like Novels n m not trying anything....
Also i have written drivers on C platform but i have heard that they can be written in Perl too and its more easy there...that's why i had put up this question ....Is it true...plzz tell me
Bye
