Agreed that the EUFI thing could be better, but I don't see how you could compel Raspberry Pi to fix it without knowing the exact details of the license agreement that the foundation signed with Broadcom and I suspect that that more than anything is what is holding this back. It's not as if they're deaf or can't read at the Raspberry Pi foundation.

As for that machine: it's got a bunch of stuff on it and I have dongle with ethernet so I can live without it. It's one of the last line of Intel portables they made and there just aren't enough people that want this fixed and I'm not smart enough to fix it.

Meanwhile, and probably ironically, that too is a Broadcom chip...
