Check out Greg Kroah-Hartman's recent talk at OLS [1] [2] and his book
[3]. I don't believe that writing drivers is that difficult, the big
problem is getting detailed specifications for the hardware.
You can get a good list of supported/unsupported usb hardware at [4]. I
would suggest that you try and write a driver [5] for some form of data
acquisition device or data logger.
