Hi Greg,
I am a kernel newbie in the path to find an area where to contribute on. I have sent some patches before (simple ones) but I would like to find some driver to contribute on and if possible mantain in the future. Due to the big amount of drivers in staging, and my lack of experience and specific hardware:
Are there any driver in the staging area that not requires specific hardware? I have only access to an old laptop with 4 processors:
I think all drivers in staging relate to real hardware, so I would recommend just buying one of the cheap devices for the drivers. I just purchased one of the USB wifi devices for under 20 euros, so it is possible. good luck! greg k-h
