Where to submit this?

I have an ASRock 970A-G/3.1 motherboard, which, with current Linux
kernels, occasionally "finds" an extra PCI device on the initial scan. I
wouldn't mind, but it finds it early in the piece, and that changes the
PCI allocation of my Ethernet board from 02:06.0 to 03:06.0, and, with
systemd, Linux comes up with no network connection. A reboot fixes it,
mostly.

I'm not very familiar with how this part of the kernel works. Who should
I submit a bug report to?

Thanks,


 .....Ron

Hi,

a.  There are ways to make & keep stable network interface names (search
for "stable network interface names in linux") regardless of where the
network interfaces are "found."

b.  The problem that you describe sounds more like a PCI issue.
You could ask about it on the linux-pci@vger.kernel.org mailing list.
