Hi, I understand I should be posting this elsewhere, and I know I'll probably get shot for asking this here, but I'm trying to get involved with kernel development, and I'm interested in networking (not necessarily wireless). I've tried other places (including kernelnewbies) before coming here. I have done some _very_ basic kernel development, like modifying a CPU/IO scheduler, creating a RAM disk, creating new system calls, ..etc. I am now trying to do some "real" kernel development. The problem is, everywhere I ask I get pointed to books like Robert Love's Linux Kernel Development, which I already read. That, or I get to pointed to lists like http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:TODO or http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DriversNeeded, both of which include projects which are basically impossible for me to do (because they require way too much background knowledge about the particular problem/protocol/device and also require great knowledge of the kernel internals). Now I understand that networking (or the networking subsystem) is fairly complicated, but I was wondering if the there is any clean up work that I can help with (that will hopefully get me familiarized with the kernel in general, and the networking stuff in particular). I'm also wondering if anyone here would be willing to give me a little bit of hand-holding with the more advanced stuff (if help is needed in a particular area but that area is too difficult for a starter like me to undertake). I'm fairly proficient in C and I understand basic OS principles (CPU scheduling, virtual memory, filesystems, ..etc). I also have general knowledge of networking (protocols and layering, packet/frame transmission, error detection, TCP/IP, and all the other stuff that are typical of an introductory networking class). Thanks, Yousef P.S. The kernel projects list on kernelnewbies.org hasn't changed forever. All projects are either taken or already merged. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
