A very large chunk of linux kernel development can be done in a virtual
machine (use VirtualBox, or VMWare, or whatever).  Note that very hardware
dependent code (like messing around with MSR registers, or some device drivers)
won't be easily debugged, because the VM gives you a virtualized version
of a generic system.  But stuff like filesystems or schedulers or new
syscalls are easily done in a VM.

Just curious, which dongle do you use? and what did you try?

Re: Advice on Linux Kernel Development

Hi,

I am using Reliance 3 (Netconnect+) Dongle..and with lots of tries, I
have finally stopped trying to install it on CentOS 6.x.

I have tried almost all instructions from posts and blogs which appears on
first 2 pages of Google search.
