Announcing the release of an updated kmod-w83627 package in the elrepo
testing repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-w83627hf

x86:
kmod-w83627hf-0.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-w83627hf-PAE-0.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-w83627hf-xen-0.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64:
kmod-w83627hf-0.0-3.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-w83627hf-xen-0.0-3.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

This release provides an updated w83627hf driver that is *only* kABI
compatible with the el5.5 series kernel (kernel-2.6.18-194.el5) upwards.
Users of older kernels should use kmod-w83627hf version 0.0-2 or the
native kernel provided driver.

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. When updating, *reinstalling* the package
after the initial update will fix the issue, so users are advised to:

yum update kmod-w83627hf
yum reinstall kmod-w83627hf


Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
