Is there anyone experienced in Linux kernel development here? I'm fiddling around with an idea that needs to touch the kernel, and I could sure use some help :)
Some questions I have in mind: 1) How difficult is it to write a kernel module? What kind of learning curve is there, given that I'm an average to above-average C coder, but without any systems development experience (apps dev, yes; systems/kernel dev, no) 2) What kind of services/API are there in the 2.6 kernel for accessing hardware resources?
