[elrepo] Announcement: EL6 Updated kmod-r8168 Release [Version 8.022.00]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-r8168 packages into the EL6
elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-r8168

This package provides an updated r8168 driver, version 8.022.00, and
is kABI compatible with all kernels from 6.0 (kernel-2.6.32-71.el6)
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-r8168-8.022.00-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-r8168-8.022.00-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

SRPMS
r8168-kmod-8.022.00-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-r8168

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

/sbin/ifdown ethN
/sbin/modprobe -r r8168
/sbin/modprobe r8168
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
