Order of essential Linux Device Drivers (Chinese and English)

Foreword

If
You're holding this book, you may be asking yourself: Why "yet another"
Linux Device Driver book? Aren't there already a bunch of them?
The answer is: This book is a quantum leap ahead of the others.
First,
It is up-to-date, covering recent 2.6 kernels. Second, and more
Important, this book is thorough. Most Device Driver books just cover
The topics described in standard UNIX internals books or operating
System books, such as serial lines, disk drives, and filesystems, and,
If you're lucky, the networking stack.
This book goes much
Further; it doesn' t shy away from the hard stuff that you have to deal
With on modern PC and embedded hardware, such as PCMCIA, USB, I2C,
Video, audio, flash memory, wireless communications, and so on. You
Name it, if the Linux kernel talks to it, then this book tells you
About It.
No stone is left unturned; no dark corner is left unilluminated.
Furthermore,
The author has earned his stripes: It's a thrill ride just to read his
Description of putting Linux on a wristwatch in the late 1990 s!
I'm
Pleased and excited to have this book as part of the Prentice Hall open
Source Software Development series. It is a shining example of
Exciting things happening in the Open Source world. I hope that you
Will find here what you need for your work on the kernel, and that you
Will enjoy the process, too!
