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

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

This package provides an updated qlcnic driver, version 5.0.28.1 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-qlcnic-5.0.28.1-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-qlcnic-5.0.28.1-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

SRPMS
qlcnic-kmod-5.0.28.1-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

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

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

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

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
