Their tasks are:

• working with the companies to determine the proper type of driver that is needed for the device.
• design and develop the Linux kernel driver according to the Linux Kernel coding style.
• work with the project manager to help answer any questions that the company might have.
• submit the created driver to the Linux kernel mailing lists for inclusion in the main kernel source tree.
• If possible, maintain the driver over time, answering user emails that report bugs and other problems when the driver is used.
