Good luck.

Sadly I cannot find time for Plan 9 for now. I am just too busy with
my job in the university and preparing me for some tests in October.
Hopefully I can start this thing in November.

That said, how do we mobilise the community to focus on useful
drivers? I suppose we start with Ron's wish list, then we explore
Russ' partially complete postings (i386 emulation, Centrino drivers,
I'm sure I've forgotten many more) and thirdly we post a list of
willing contributors,
This gets punted around every few months and nothing happens.
I've done some basic information-gathering but got no further for the
usual reasons,
so, in an effort to stimulate some inertia,
here's a small suggestion ...

I'm not gonna make it, but it's an interesting idea.
What would be more useful, possibly, is a tutorial on how to write a
driver, with
Maybe similar sessions for 'file server writing' or 'limbo
programming' might be nice for those not familiar with those subjects
(and thanks to 9vx and hosted the required setups would allow people
with non-plan9 laptops to participate).

Sounds like a really cool idea, maybe somebody with more experience in
the subject wants to give a short introduction, and then people can
start to work on their favorite wanted driver (alone or in groups)
while the 'expert'(s) in charge of the session can answer questions
and help whoever gets
Those of us who can't make it could volunteer to be on irc during the
sessions, modulo timezone issues (that's what coffee is for).

Me, kinda goes without saying.

Are you serious?
I have a crazy idea: how about you actually write one?
I did, once. At least, I extended the PCNet driver for a particular
model no one else had catered for. There were a few inconsistencies
with expectations, so it never made prime time. Since then, the
memory model changed
I think the one of the BSD projects, OpenBSD perhaps, used to accept
hardware donations to this end. If we had a wayto get the hardware
and the technical documentation in the same place as the developers we
could get more hardware supported.
I believe this is a small factor, but also not an
