Hello Andrew, Thank you so much for your kind advice and willingness to help a newbie become a valued kernel developer. I am committed to acquire necessary knowledge and skills to contribute more than current cleanup and minor correction patches. I am sure that the upcoming Coccinelle based project work [if I am shortlisted] will be much more complex and meaningful. I will explore the staging directory to identify a hardware I can afford. I would welcome suggestion on a driver that is not much expensive and complex to start with. Anything for the networking subsystem??? Thank you once again! ./drv > > Andrew > _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
