[elrepo] Announcement: EL6 & EL7 Updated kmod-ixgbevf Release [2.16.1-1]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-ixgbevf packages into the EL6
and EL7 elrepo repositories:

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

This package provides an updated ixgbevf NIC driver, version 2.16.1

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.

Note that this is a 64-bit only package for EL6.

The following files are currently syncing to the mirrors:

EL6:

x86_64
kmod-ixgbevf-2.16.1.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

SRPMS
ixgbevf-kmod-2.16.1-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm

EL7:

x86_64
kmod-ixgbevf-2.16.1-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

SRPMS
ixgbevf-kmod-2.16.1-1.el7.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

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

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 ixgbevf
/sbin/modprobe ixgbevf
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
