[elrepo-devel] kmod-forcedeth for el7

[Matthew Gyurgyik]

Hello.

Today I attempted to install EL7 on some consumer grade hardware and
discovered that Redhat has removed the forcedeth network module in EL7.

I am not sure how you all decide which modules get added to elrepo, but
I have created a kmod-forcedeth package, heavily based on kmod-e1000.el7.

The srpm can be found here:
http://pyther.net/files/el7/forcedeth-kmod-0.64-1.el7.centos.src.rpm

forcedeth-0.64.tar.gz was tar'd from
linux-3.12.24/drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia.

Makefile was modified from:

obj-$(CONFIG_FORCEDETH) += forcedeth.o

to

obj-m += forcedeth.o

kmodtool-forcedeth-el7.sh was copied from kmodtool-e1000e-el7.sh. I
commented out 'echo "%doc /usr/share/man/man7/"' as there are no man
pages for this module.

It would be awesome if you can add this to elrepo. However, I would
completely understand if it is inappropriate to add deprecated  (by
redhat) modules.

Cheers,
