searching for a missing driver

[Hugo Lefeuvre]

Hi,

I've been reading documentation about linux drivers development for
quite a while now, but never did anything really useful of it. Lack of
time, but most importantly lack of projects to apply this knowledge.
Now I've got some spare time ahead of me, and it seems to be the
right moment to start a kernel driver project.

... but I don't know exactly what kind of device driver I want to
write, and what kind of device I want to work on.

I think I could have fun working on usb drivers, expecially after
reading this blog post[0], but I don't know if it's the best for a
first driver project.

Is there a place where I can find a list of devices missing kernel
drivers ? Can you recommend me a type of device I should opt for, given
that this is going to be my first driver project ? A specific device ?

Having to reverse engineer stuff isn't much of a problem for me, as long
as it doesn't get too far into the "black magic" land. ;)

Also, if you have any kind of advices for people starting their first
driver project, I'd be glad to hear them.

Thanks !

Cheers,
 Hugo
