[elrepo-devel] Announcement: Updated kmod-r8101 release

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of an updated kmod-r8101 package in the elrepo
repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-r8101

This package provides an updated r8101 driver, version
1.016.00_NAPI-1, and is kABI compatible with all kernels from 5.0
(kernel-2.6.18-8.el5) upwards.

It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of
releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one
specific build.

NOTE: Due to the appearance of a bug in el5.5, *updating* of kmod
packages is broken with el5.5. To apply this update, users of el5.5
are advised to first uninstall the old package and then install the
new package:

yum erase kmod-r8101
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-r8101

If you have already updated and the package is no longer working,
please uninstall and then reinstall the package.

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
