Bug#995927: Aw: Re: Bug#995927: linux-image-amd64: since kernel 5.9 module e100 causes system-wide problems after suspend



Dear Salvatore,

thank your for your response!

I'd gladly report the issue upstream, but I'm not sure on how to approach that.
I'm aware of Bugzilla [1], but so far I have no account there. And the
documentation [2] says, that Bugzilla is likely not the right address anyway:

> Locate the driver or kernel subsystem that seems to be causing the issue.
> Find out how and where its developers expect reports. Note: most of the time

I have very little experience when it comes to the kernel.
The maintainers list [3] and the code of e100 [4] suggest different e-mail
addresses, according to the e1000 Sourceforge site [5], depending on whether the
e100 module would be considered "in" or "out of tree". 
I'm also not sure which formal rules (e.g. tags) I need to follow to get through
with the matter at a big company like Intel.

Can you give me some advice please?
