Announcing the release of updated kmod-tg3 packages into the EL6
elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-tg3

This package provides an updated Broadcom Tigon 3 (tg3) driver,
version 3.122n, 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-tg3-3.122n-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-tg3-3.122n-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

src
tg3-kmod-3.122n-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-tg3

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

/sbin/ifdown ethN
/sbin/modprobe -r tg3
/sbin/modprobe tg3
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
