Hmm, I was very confused by not realising this situation:

----
[root at medusa ~]# rpm -q kmod-r8168
kmod-r8168-8.016.00_NAPI-2.el5.elrepo
kmod-r8168-8.024.00-1.el5.elrepo
----

So the queries to RPMdb returned scripts from the old package as well,
leading to my wrong conclusions about the new package. It's obvious who 
is the master :p

Thanks for your patience, Alan !
