[elrepo] Announcement: EL5 and EL6 Updated kmod-r8168 Release [8.038.00-1]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-r8168 packages into the EL5 and
EL6 elrepo repositories:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-r8168

This package provides an updated r8168 driver, version 8.038.00-1

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:

You may update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-r8168

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 r8168
/sbin/modprobe r8168
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
