Writing a SIM card reader device driver

[Love von Melen Ekman]

Hello, freebsd-drivers

I have decided to write the driver for the built-in card-reader in Samsung
netbooks (nc10). It's called Samsung Y3100. I have not contributed code
outside of work before, and nothing this low level, but I am bent on
learning what it takes.

So, I have two questions. Is "porting" the linux driver a good idea? The
kernel is of course very different, but maybe the linux code will teach me
about the device?

And can you point me to good information or give good advice to an aspiring
device driver developer? Do's and dont's and general ideas would be
appreciated.

I have google, of course, but any additional advice I can get I will listen
heartily to.

Sincerely,
Love von Melen
