[elrepo] Announcement: EL5 Updated kmod-r8169 Release [Version 6.016.00]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-r8169 packages into the EL5
elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-r8169

This package provides an updated r8169 driver, version 6.016.00, 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-r8169-6.016.00-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-r8169-PAE-6.016.00-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-r8169-xen-6.016.00-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-r8169-6.016.00-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-r8169-xen-6.016.00-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

SRPMS
r8169-kmod-6.016.00-1.el5.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-r8169

Once the package has been updated, remember to unload the older driver
version from the kernel:

/sbin/ifdown ethN
/sbin/modprobe -r r8169
/sbin/modprobe r8169
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
