This ebook (3rd edition) is also little bit outdated if we consider net_device structure (chapter 17 - network drivers).
At this moment that structure is different since 2009. However they say:

See the LWN 2.6 API changes page for information on subsequent changes.
It is only mentioned that struct differ from old one, which all examples are based on.

I have not found on the internet any examples of network drivers written with new net_structure and believe me I am searching few days. Unfortunatelly link passed by fpmurphy is also describing driver based on old net_structure.

I got only "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14" - headers. No *.c files.
