Where to find up to date documentation

Where to find up to date documentation

Can someone recommend the best place to look for documentation on writing a 
device driver for the 2.6.x kernel? (Preferably something with a worked 
example)

I'd prefer a hardcopy book, but I can only see ones for 2.4 driver 
development.

Cheers,

Mark.

It depends on what driver type you are developing. Anyway, IMHO the best
way to see it is to read the sources in linux/drivers directory.
