[2.6] Module writing?

I have started to write some kernel modules for fun now, but they are a
bit empty :)
it's just some printk's and some other simple things.

I wonder if there are any good howtoes out on the Net somewhere, I've
read a bit on: http://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg, but I'm afraid it's a bit
outdated(?)

I'm only doing this for fun(at this time, maybe it becomes serious
when i become a bit older;) ) so i don't want to spend any
money on a book, or on an course.


Best regards

I'm intressed in Kernel Hackin generally, any tips or documentation of
general Kernel Hacking would also be very nice. :)

I'm new to all this with kernel hacking, so writing any drivers would be 
quite difficult for me i think.
I'm just trying to learn where to start, and what to start with, I'm not 
a guru in C, but I'm learning ;)
But if anyone have a driver which need some looking after I could gladly 
look at the TODO or something :)
