[elrepo-devel] Announcement: EL5 Updated kmod-r8168 packages [8.019.00-NAPI-1] available

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-r8168 packages in the elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-r8168

This package provides an updated r8168 driver, version 8.019.00-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: As a result of the appearance of a bug in el5.5, these updated
kmod packages will pull in an updated module-init-tools package
containing a fix, as a dependency, for el5.5 users. If you are using
yum priorities then you will need to allow elrepo to replace core
OS/Updates files for the purpose of this update.

See here for more information:

A quick workaround to update would be:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-r8168

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
