Subject: Re: Linux wireless GSoC 2010 project ideas

No problem for students to suggest topics. We are not restricted to 
wireless in terms of kernel. We support kernel projects in general.

Please give your suggestion as answer to this e-mail, doing "Reply to 
all", as I am not a kernel export, the other participants of this thread 
should have a look at the student's project ideas and help finding mentors.
