[elrepo] Announcement: EL6 Updated kmod-ixgbe Release [3.9.17-1]

[Alan Bartlett]

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

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

This package provides an updated ixgbe driver, version 3.9.17, 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-ixgbe-3.9.17-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-ixgbe-3.9.17-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

src
ixgbe-kmod-3.9.17-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

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

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 ixgbe
/sbin/modprobe ixgbe
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
