    Here's mine:

    Please don't write it in assembly language.

    Try to find public specifications for the protocol rather than reverse
    engineering an existing implementation; if you end up doing reverse
    engineering, be sure to check that it's legal in your country.

    Read up on linux device drivers -- there are some good resources out there
    now (books you can buy and documents on the web).
