I actually used the satlink driver in Fall of 2017 ... I was teaching a class on 
drivers and for NetBSD I used satlink has been a simple example of a driver
that has been my starting example of how to do a NetBSD driver.   The 
students know it is old, but it does give them a great  introduction.

I do point them to more complicated code later.    

Any candidate drivers that are nearly as simple as satlink?  I'm sure I'll
be asked to teach our "device drivers" class in the future some time.
