Ethernet devices can be as simple as the 1 gigabit ethernet controllers in your laptop, to much faster ethernet controllers in servers. Interns would work on the Intel 1 gigabit ethernet driver, igb.

The USB 3.0 driver still needs a lot of work, so there are plenty of small bug fixes that interns can tackle. If time permits, interns could also work on small to medium features.

| == x86 core == attachment:tux-hardware.jpg In the heart of the Linux kernel is code that runs directly on x86 processors. This includes early boot code, etc. This part of the kernel is usually consider one of the dark and scary places of the operating system that few venture into. However, with a bit of guidance, it's really fascinating to see how a computer begins the journey from powered off to a blinking cursor at your login prompt. Interns would work alongside PJ on central boot code in the Linux kernel. Today, the kernel brings CPU's online one by one in a serial fashion. We can do better. Several stages of changes are planned to go from a completely serial approach to a fully parallel approach to bringing CPU's up. Interns would work on some of these planned changes. ''Required skills:'' A competent level of C ''Optional but learnable skills:'' Knowledge of computer architecture, x86 assembly ''Mentors:'' Peter Waskiewicz Jr (PJ) [:PeterWaskiewicz:(contact info)] |
