Well, ideally what you should do is look through drivers/staging and
select a driver that looks interesting to you and has some work that
needs to be done, then you get a hardware for that particular driver.
Please do not skip the step where you actually get the hardware, given
your previous behavior I think we all can agree that is likely to happen
though... Surprise us! ;-) If you have the hardware, you can run tests
on it, stress test it or boot into Windows and see what the Windows
driver does that the current Linux driver does not do.

Hopefully the hardware itself won't cost too much and is easily obtainable
using Amazon or Ebay.

Hope it helps,
Levente
