“Touted as the definitive guide to writing device drivers for
the Linux kernel, I went into LDD with high expectations. Granted,
this book had a lot to live up to, but I was somewhat disappointed;
the content was definitely on par, but it lacked that refinement
found in most books O’Reilly publishes. There were several blatant
typographical errors, and the book was literred with
cross-references to non-existant sections in Chapter One. And just
as a note, having the Documentation/ directory of the kernel
sources open in a terminal would be handy, as the reader is often
sent there for further information.“The book is laid out in a rather logical manner; new terms are
defined as they become necessary, and each chapter deals with a
different area of writing device drivers…”
