[elrepo] Announcement: EL5 Updated kmod-e1000e Release [Version 1.6.3]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-e1000e packages in the EL5
elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-e1000e

This package provides an updated e1000e driver, version 1.6.3, and is
kABI compatible with all kernels from 5.4 (kernel-2.6.18-164.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-e1000e-1.6.3-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-e1000e-PAE-1.6.3-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-e1000e-xen-1.6.3-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-e1000e-1.6.3-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-e1000e-xen-1.6.3-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

src
e1000e-kmod-1.6.3-1.el5.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-e1000e

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 e1000e
/sbin/modprobe e1000e
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
