Bluetooth, SD-card (some simplified specs are available freely), vfat, ftp-server, smb-server/client, maybe CORBA (ACO/TAO), USB host/OTG support, WLAN, ....
If you need more ideas, let me know :-)

Come on Alex. These are three final year Computer Engineering students
with 100 hours each. The only thing you listed that would be possible
is the ftp-server. The rest are huge project that requires lots of
knowledge, which a typical student does not have.

Two more sensible suggestions:

There was recently two contributions of a pipe device, which
implements something very similar to Unix FIFO's and a pseudo tty
device. Im in the process of cleaning them up and committing
them. What would be useful is to write an ssh daemon and telnet daemon
which sits on top of the master side of the pty. The problem with this
tasks is there is little to do with actually embedded hardware. So you
supervisor may reject the ideas.

sir 
we want to know something more about ftp-server. as we saw in latest
realease of eCos we have TFTP client- as well as server.
also there is FTP client provided.
we are eager to know the possible applications of FTP server in
embedded systems. especially why TFTP is not sufficient for them.
