Report bugs in bugzilla

You found a bug in the firmware kit? We're very sorry! But please report the bug with as much information as possible in our bugzilla bug tracking system:

Current development version

We are using the new Google* Code feature for the subversion control of our source code.
To get the latest snapshot of the development version, use the following command:

Test ideas

Are you a kernel developer and hitting a firmware bug you wish wasn't there? Are you an end user that bought a new machine that doesn't work well with Linux due to "the BIOS," but the testkit doesn't find the problem yet? Let us know!
You can file a enhancement request in bugzilla, send an email to the mailing list, or even send us a private mail.

Writing your own tests

Writing your own test is not hard. We haven't written enough documentation for tests yet, but that will come soon. We welcome contributions of your own tests as long as the test is licensed under an open source license.
