We are always interested in any help we can get in the kernel. We have
a number of community members who help out either triaging bugs, helping
diagnose and fixing bugs, reviewing patches on the mailing list, helping
users on our IRC channel etc.

Come find us on #ubuntu-kernel IRC channel on FreeNODE and we can try
and help you get started.

Hi Tapas, and welcome!

I'd recommend you to start to do things that are you're interested in,
and that is related to hardware you have physical access to - that's
usually easier than trying to help out with remote stuff.

I am specially interested for the wireless drivers area
I had a look at the relevant page
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs?field.tags_combinator=ALL&field.tag=kernel-net+kernel-needs-review
but I am having only my laptop and this laptop is Dell Inspiron 1440.
So this may not serve the purpose.I have never fixed a bug till today
in my life but I do wish to fix these ,(at least I want to try) So any
other ideas you suggest.

I believe the driver you speak of already exists.

Issue these commands to activate it:
sudo rmmod b43
sudo modprobe b43 pio=1 qos=0

Hi, I don't have this wireless chip right now but I would recommend reading:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Ubuntu.2BAC8-Debian

And, if the first link doesn't provide you with a solution:

http://linux.aldeby.org/howto-ubuntu-linux-on-hp-pavilion-dv2000-dv6000-dv9000-series-laptops.html/4#wireless

(go to "broadcom wireless").

Ideally you will require Internet access (through Ethernet cable) to set
up your wireless chip. As a workaround you can download necessary
packages and dependencies from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ .

http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/

Here you can download a ubuntu 11.04 natty iso image.

Burn this into a live cd.

Then boot your pc with this live cd and try linux (do not install at this
stage).
