Hi Johan,

I'm just in the process of updating the kmod-alx package for 6.4, there 
is an open bug request here:

http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=361

If you have the hardware and are able to test, please subscribe to that 
bug and provide feedback there. I will post to the bug when a package is 
available for testing, hopefully within the next couple days.

Thanks.

Phil
