My cousin is in School now, he instgalled RH based Linux PC, would like
to do some Linux Project, with simple loadable kernel module and some
application should access that module using socket, this way the kernel
module loading and debugging, as well as socket application program can
be written, can somebody suggest us how to do this. Basically wants to
learn Linux Kernel programming. Also is there any Pseudo driver
availble in Linux (Or Loop around driver which is available in STREAMS
Programming).

In socket prog, will it be only one socket for both sides communication
or do I need two sockets (for example in standard FTP, will it use only
one socket for Tx abd Rx, Or is it two different sockets). Thanks.
