The MAINTAINERS file did mention that the appropriate mailing list to use is the linux-wireless one. Using an appropriate list is preferable to e-mailing individuals. Added in the TO:. That card uses the rtlwifi module, so that seems to be Larry's and Chaoming's to look at. -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/5/16, Federico Leva [off-list ref] wrote: Hello, I see in https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/MAINTAINERS that you maintain some RTL8* wireless driver. Sorry for the direct emaill, but did you see the report https://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=143420832618489&w=2 and is anything else needed? There are hundreds of bug reports about this card on launchpad alone (apparently it's shipped by HP, Lenovo and others with many laptops), but the bug is still present: I've verified it in Fedora 23 and Ubuntu 16.04 (Linux 4.4.0-21) and others found it in Linux 4.5. Example bug reports with useful information in launchpad for Ubuntu: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1459367 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1461174 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/hwe-next/+bug/1461174 Thanks, Federico
