[edk2-devel] How to report bugs in the Intel GigUndiDxe driver?

[edk2-devel] How to report bugs in the Intel GigUndiDxe driver?

[Rebecca Cran]

Intel has been releasing the EDK2/UEFI source code for their network 
drivers 
(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/15755/intel-ethernet-connections-boot-utility-preboot-images-and-efi-drivers.html) 
but I've found a few problems with it. The first issue I ran into is 
that GigUndiDxe.inf includes StdLibC which obviously breaks the build.

This evening I also found a problem with a debug print which causes a crash:

DEBUGPRINT (HII, ("Package list languages - %a\n"));


Less important, but slightly irritating, the documentation files such as 
build_instruction.txt are in UTF-16 format.


I was wondering if there's any way to send feedback to the team 
responsible for the driver(s) without going through the official Intel 
Support process?


Once I have it working, if there's interest I was thinking about having 
the code added to edk2-non-osi under Drivers/Intel/IntelUndiPkg. I don't 
know if that's something that would be useful?

Best to refer to

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/Intel_UNDI

I contributed AArch64 + GCC build support in the past, and all my
patches got squashed together and combined with other changes into

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/commit/c5c2c87494e686c6418e72f68d05e02e90a7d53c

but at least they took my changes an merged them.
