I was searching around amazon to see new titles and for my surprise there was this brand new book, Essential Linux Device Drivers, dated April/2008, ~750 pages, like my older post, Linux Kernel Development, and my suggestion never posted, Linux Device Drivers, will give you the best tools around to understand and work in Linux, now continuing with the description:

“Probably the most wide ranging and complete Linux device driver book I’ve read.”
–Alan Cox, Linux Guru and Key Kernel Developer

“Very comprehensive and detailed, covering almost every single Linux device driver type.”
–Theodore Ts’o, First Linux Kernel Developer in North America and Chief Platform Strategist of the Linux Foundation

Like last year I’ll be in London in two weeks for The Wireless Event, this is the third time Vex is participating. What I particularly like in this event, is the focus, it is really focused in Wi-Fi and WiMax, different from CTIA, that became one huge show for whatever wireless.

“Wireless’08 is about delivering wirefree enterprise mobility and services. It brings together all the leading suppliers and expert speakers giving you an overview of the full breath of wireless solutions for your business whatever your chosen delivery platform is be it WiFi, WiMax, RFID, 3G, 4G”
