Anything for the networking subsystem??? Staging drivers for network tend to be USB dongles for WiFi. Some of those drivers need throwing away and starting again, others need less work. If you are interested in that, i would suggest asking on linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org. Another option might be pi433? The problem with that is, i don't know how it fits into the rest of the network stack? Could it maybe fit under ieee802154? Or is it just unique and needs to do its own thing?
