No offence meant, but from your questions, you have less of a clue than I do, and I wouldn't fancy writing a driver from scratch. Are you sure you're not biting off a little too much here? On the othe hand, even if you give up half way through, you'll probably have learned a hell of a lot. But, as Dave says below, why? OSS? 2.4?
