Short answer: One that you have the hardware for so you can actually test your code. Nobody wants to see a driver for a Frobnozz 9000 graphics card written by somebody who doesn't have access to a Frobmozz 9000 card for testing.

a Linux device driver
Hello, I am an experienced Linux kernel and driver developer and have some time! I like to develop a driver for Linux open source. Any recommendations what device driver is missing and open source community could benefit from a new driver or enhance some existing driver? Where could I go for such information? ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
