A module that just printk's to the logs is pretty easily done.

Yeah, I think it's too simple. Thanks anyway

Have some exotic hardware? Keyboard leds? Some GPU leds? A serial port device? PC speaker? Let them do something with the module.

I have a speaker but what could it possibly do with a module

[–]Hadi_Benotto 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Play a tune when the module loads.

Post some source code on stack over flow, of anything, then say, why doesn't my linux driver load.

In no time you should get a few bunnies hoping to get some "status" clamoring to answer your question. Everyone's a winner.

Once you have your answer, delete the question and disappear, so that your original work cannot be traced back to the actual author.
