Why not look for a problem with an existing device driver you *can*
test? I can think of several annoying bugs that my laptop has had at
different times. Even if you can't make contributions right away, just
looking at the code of an interesting driver can help your skill &
understanding. Probably more so than trying to write one from scratch,
because you get the benefit of others' experience.
