Re: how to write kernel modules

Hello,

Take a look at the following posting on Ubuntuforums.org
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2554398#post2554398
There you will find all necessary litterature and examples.

You may also write Michel Xhaard and ask him how to debug USB commands. I think he reverse engineers USB drivers in Windows and re-creates the drivers in Linux. See: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39291

I have a very rare piece of hardware that requires special drivers in
Windows and OS X. I have those; what I /don't/ have is a copy of MS
Windows ;-) It's a USB network cable.

My question is this: How can I write a kernel module for it? I know how to
program in C, but I don't know how to communicate directly with the
hardware, and I don't know how to make a kernel module.

Could any of you shed some light here?

Thanks
