The original code can be found at: http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596005900/ -Besides these examples, there is a plan to add more example drivers to show -API/ABI not cover in LDD3, for example netlink and threaded interrupt handlers. +Besides the original drivers, there is a plan to add more examples that cover +more recent kernel features like the listed before.
