When you're trying to familiarize yourself with the code, this is a very handy site that lets you browse random kernel releases: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.6.6/ And the staging directory is full of drivers that need love. See if you happen to have any of this hardware, or are willing to invest a few bucks to buy whatever it is this is place to look for examples of bad code! http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.6.6/drivers/staging/ Written up at: http://lwn.net/Articles/324279/ fyi: If I recall correctly, if a driver sits in staging for too long without anyone working on it, it will get deleted from the kernel tree eventually. The hope is that devs will take pity on those drivers from time to time and improve them. When the quality is good enough they should be submitted for moving into a more stable part of the kernel source tree.
