writing device drivers,for a beginner!!!

Hi all,

Please excuse me if this is not the right forum to ask my question.

I would like to know more about writing device drivers for Unix,particularly Solaris 10.
excuse me if am being vague, but I have absolutely no idea about how i can start.
I did try to search for a beginners guide to this ,wasnt of much help.

Since am an absolute beginner, would like to know where i can find material on these, that i can start from the very basics of it. and how i need to proceed.

PS: Its just a longing that i have from the past few months and i want to give it a shot...

Thanks

FPA(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    FPA(4)

NAME
fpa, fea -- device drivers for DEC FDDI controllers SYNOPSIS
device fpa device fea FreeBSD only: device fddi DESCRIPTION
The fpa and fea device drivers provide support for the DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI Controller and the DEC DEFEA EISA FDDI Controller, respectively. All variants of either controller are supported including the DAS and SAS configurations. DIAGNOSTICS
fea%d: error: desired IRQ of %d does not match device's actual IRQ (%d) The device probe detected that the DEFEA board is configured for a different interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file. fea%d: error: memory not enabled! ECU reconfiguration required The device probe found that no device memory had been configured on the DEFEA. Although the DEFEA can be configured with no device memory, this driver requires a minimum of 1K device memory to be set up. The ECU (EISA Configuration Utility) will need to be run to change the settings. SEE ALSO
arp(4), netintro(4), ifconfig(8) AUTHORS
The fpa and fea device drivers and this manual page were written by Matt Thomas. CAVEATS
Normally, the device driver will not enable the reception of SMT frames. However if the IFF_LINK1 flag is set, the device driver will enable the reception of SMT frames and pass them up to the Berkeley Packet Filter for processing. BSD
