Greetings All, After my terrible results before and getting banned from the list due to these results, I am wondering if there is any work in the USB or Networking Subsystem I can start with. Further more recently I read Essential Kernel Drivers so I have some idea of how to write drivers now and want to get my feet wet. In addition if I am still not trusted yet,that's OK too. :) Thanks, Nick

the fact that there is no such book as "essential kernel drivers" probably tells everyone here all they need to know ... rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

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

I was interested in Socs in staging as I believe there are a few would someone like to point me to one that I can get hardware for. Nick _______________________________________________

I don't remember but my interest has always been in embedded and file systems. If the kernel has work in there areas, I am swamped with school work for the next few weeks but can start helping out afterwards.

This particular newbie (nick) has a reasonably long and ignoble history in the kernel development area. He used up quite a lot of the available polite late last summer, and isn't at the moment giving any indications that he's made any improvements.

That makes sense and I am doing my own research now. Furthermore I am able to handle my school work in top of kernel programming. Nick
