Re: Linux wireless GSoC 2010 project ideas

[Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>]

No problem for students to suggest topics. We are not restricted to

Please give your suggestion as answer to this e-mail, doing "Reply to 
all", as I am not a kernel export, the other participants of this thread 
should have a look at the student's project ideas and help finding mentors.
