Hi Robert, I am only done with writing basic device drivers and kernel compilation. I also know that we can send patches/drivers to majordomo@vger.kernel.org But sending sample device drivers to that list will not be good etiquette. That's why I am asking.

Hi All,
I am conducting one workshop at FUDCon in which I am trying to teach how to write and send your first linux kernel device driver. Could please suggest me the place where I can guide the students to send the device driver?
once upon a time, i wrote an (admittedly-dated) online course on how to get started with kernel programming (and, yes, it needs updating :-P):
http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/introduction-lin...
ignore the $39 reference, the course has been publicly available for free for a while.
on the second point -- how to *send* that driver to the kernel -- don't you kind of need a rationale for why you're working on a driver that isn't in the kernel already? i suspect that if you're already competent enough to be writing a driver for something that isn't in the kernel, you probably already know the protocol for submitting it, no?
