Description Hiten Pandya 2002-09-08 20:00:15 UTC
	
	We currently lack information on the Device Driver Interface (DDI)
	(aka Newbus) in the Developer's Handbook.  The patches provided
	below, will add the stuff described above.

	The document is a deriviation from the Newbus draft which "used"
	to be at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~asmodai/newbus-draft.txt. I
	got in contact with Jeroen Ruigrok and I planned on coverting it
	to DocBook SGML for everyones advantage.

	Future Additions (see comment in the patch) will be contributed
	back to the developer's handbook.  All work will be held at:
	 
	 http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/bsdbook/
	
	Special Thanks to Jeroen Ruigrok and all the committers who
	provided their wisdom and helpful hints (See first paragraph
	of the chapter). :-)

	The document has been reviewed by various entities and various
	forms of communications, ranging from IRC channel to emails. :)
	Magnus Backstrom (b@etek.chalmers.se) was a great helping hand
	in providing me with examples and corrections, and many spelling
	mistakes were corrected by: Christian Brueffer <chris@unixpages.org>.
	Thanks for your input guys! Very appreciated! :)
	
	If there are any queries, regarding this Problem Report, please
	do not hesitate to contact me.  Lastly, the patches provided here
	in are also available at:

	  - http://www.unixdaemons.com/~hiten/work/docproj/newbus/ddi-part1
	  - http://www.unixdaemons.com/~hiten/work/docproj/newbus/ddi-part2

	Thanks.

Fix: Please apply the following patches inorder to integrate the newbus
	chapter into the Developer's Handbook.  A directory, called newbus
	will be needed under doc/EN_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/.

How-To-Repeat: 
	Look at Developer's Handbook and find a Newbus Chapter. :-P
