Please always add a blank line after your changelog and
before your "Signed-off-by:" line

Please align all lines of multi-line statements.

checkpatch is a stupid little script.
You have to make sure your own patches are sensible.

There are several things you should read and
understand in the Documentation directory.

	Documentation/CodingStyle
	Documentation/SubmittingPatches
	Documentation/SubmitChecklist

Fixing checkpatch messages is sometimes a decent
way to understand this process, but the patches
that can be generated fixing these messages tend
to have low overall value.

After doing a few of these, please move on to
some part of the kernel that interests you and
submit new code or start to fix actual defects.

Maybe if you are interested in wireless drivers,
buy a NIC that isn't supported by the mac80211
drivers and adapt the existing staging driver for
that variant.

Code, test, validate, submit, repeat...

Hi,
I’m first trying my hands at easy stuff before I actually move on to more difficult stuff. I will surely look in that direction. Thanks for your valuable inputs.

> www.kernelnewbies.org is an excellent resource for getting started. Check out the first patch tutorial, it walks you through all the basics of creating and sending a properly formated patch. You're better off learning to do it right the first  time, if its not right the patch simply won't be accepted and you'll have to redo it anyway. Take some time to go through the tutorial I  mentioned. Good luck

Hi Roger,
Thanks for your comments. I’ve correctly submitted a patchset for the multiple FSF notices, maybe you can comment if its any good?. I’m through the rough patch and now understand the process now quite fairly.
I did checkout kernelnewbies.org before I submitted the patch, but alas I needed some practical XP.
Regards,
Parth Sane
