We apologise for inadvertently referring to this package as "Version
8.021.00" (sic) on the subject line and in the second sentence of the
text. This corrected announcement supersedes this previous erroneous
version.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Announcing the release of updated kmod-r8101 packages into the EL5
elrepo repository:

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

This package provides an updated r8101 driver, version 1.021.00, 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.

The following files are currently syncing to the mirrors:

x86
kmod-r8101-1.021.00-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-r8101-PAE-1.021.00-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-r8101-xen-1.021.00-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-r8101-1.021.00-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-r8101-xen-1.021.00-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

SRPMS
r8101-kmod-1.021.00-1.el5.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

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

Once the package has been updated, remember to unload the old version
before loading the newer driver into the kernel:

/sbin/ifdown ethN
/sbin/modprobe -r r8101
/sbin/modprobe r8101
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
