I'd be happy to test the driver.
Thank you

Hi Dan,

Yes, an elrepo kABI-tracking kmod package of your driver would be ideal 
as it will survive kernel updates seamlessly meaning you won't need to 
recompile it for every kernel update.

Thanks for providing the above information. We (Alan actually) already 
packages a number of these realtek drivers, but so far not yours. I see 
the driver source code for your driver on the realtek website so it 
should be simple enough to do. I'm assuming Alan will pick this up on 
his return as he's done the rest of the realtek drivers (I think he's 
been away for a couple days).

I trust you'll be able to test the driver package for us?

Regards,

Phil
