[elrepo-devel] Announcement: EL5 Updated kmod-r8101 release (Version 1.019.00_NAPI)

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of an updated kmod-r8101 package in the EL5
elrepo repository:

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

This package provides an updated r8101 driver, version 1.019.00_NAPI,
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 update as follows. This will then also update the
module-init-tools package (which has had an erroneous upstream patch
reverted):

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-r8101

If you have already updated and the package is no longer working,
please reinstall the package:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo reinstall kmod-r8101

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
