Eh, I dont *write* device drivers for a living, but I have
been screwed by my fair share (or more 8-)...

The AT&T authorized manuals from prentice hall seemed prety
detailed.  I saw them at my local book store.  One of the
books was a how-to for kernel modules which included the
structures for STREAMS Terminal drivers and like that.  It
also had things like how to add poll(2) capibility to a non-
STREAMS driver, with programming examples.

It was a deep and muddy green set of books whose titles were
taken directly from the manual set offered by AT&T (or so it
seemed) but it had some of the information that I have only been
able to get form AT&T in the Xroxed-sheaf-of-papers format.
