- [Instructor] So great. You finished the device driver class, and now you want to know what should I do next? Well, I've got some thoughts for you. I would say you could do what I did and that is pick a driver and look at it, examine it, experiment with it. You know now about editing and building drivers, so you can pick one, pick your network driver, pick one of the other drivers, and make some changes and see what happens. Leave out a function and see how it breaks. Read the code, look at the code, go through it. See what you can understand. And when you run into a function that you don't understand, of course, you can do a web search. You can look at the documentation directory. You can find other places in the kernel where it's used and maybe some helpful comments. And don't forget the documentation directory in the kernel source code. There you go. Good luck.
