Try and search for similar problems with other boards and chipsets. Try to see what information was requested, and how the matter was resolved (or wasn't). > I can't say if the style I'll use, if I contact lkml will be the right > one or not, right now I simply have nothing to write, but if I get some > knowledge, I'll be ready to contact the kernel folks and ASUS.

I am not in that industry, so I cannot say what challenges they face. - From the open source side, there is a process in place to have drivers written for hardware manufacturers, I don't know why more companies do not take advantage of this.

I guess last Kindness has nothing to do with it. These are very busy people who do not like people wasting their time. If we do not take the time to do our homework, that is not being very courteous to them, nor does it display respect. > time I read about this was yesterday on LAD.

The reality is that failure is normal, and we should see it as an opportunity to learn. The LKML makes no attempt to sugar coat their opinions, if they think an idea is dumb, they will say as much. This is as close to a meritocracy as humans can likely get. If you have something of value to contribute, and are willing to accept criticism, there should not be a problem. > > OT PS: The commissioner for data protection wasn't able to open an > attached email in .eml format.
