Anyways, I'm very happy with the combination of intelligence and

driver instead. For my Rio Karma mp3 player. It's a USB thing.. should
be do-able in 3 months even though I've never written a driver.


I've already done this and it is in 2.6.16. There's still some work
to be done on the filesystem; check out
http://linux-karma.sourceforge.net to help out.

Yeah, I immediately found out =) Some very good explanation on your site (http://bobcopeland.com/karma/). I see that you've implemented most of the work, and I can't really figure out any isolated development suitable for a school project. But please, if you have an idea, say so.

Otherwise I'll probably dig up something. Just needs to be a small kernel-whatever project.

Is there someone maintaining a list of non-implemented ideas for kernel features/drivers?
