Get Back Into Kernel Work
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 ...

That was a typo, I meant essential linux device drivers.

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.

I didn't write this. Are you intentionally trolling this?
The initial message under this subject had nothing to do with this. BTW - the atitiude is piss poor for what is SUPPOSED to be newbies area. Try taking some trips from Ernie and Fewer from Bert.

Nobody's claiming you did. This is a different thread to yours,
with a different subject line. Note that none of the quoted messages above had your name as attribution.

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.

It's the default position on these mailing lists. You're generally
not going to have anyone remember that you don't want to be CC'd. A message in your .sig to that effect might help, but it probably won't.

Look I really do want to try and improve my rep as I really enjoy learning and programming the kernel. I don't want to come up as I known everything I don't,all I am is some honest criticism of where I am going wrong.

Insert this:
X. Do My Own Research First, THEN ask questions
preferably at X = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 of the above list.
Read a few netiquette/'how to write questions smart' manuals to learn how to let people /know/ you did your research.
If your school work gets in the way though, it probably means it's much more important and you should not miss it.
