[elrepo] Announcement: EL5, EL6 and EL7 Updated kmod-r8168 Release [8.040.00-1]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-r8168 packages into the EL5,
EL6 and EL7 elrepo repositories:

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

This package provides an updated r8168 kernel module for Realtek
RTL8168/RTL8111, RTL8168B/RTL8111B, RTL8168C/RTL8111C,
RTL8168D/RTL8111D, RTL8168E/RTL8111E and RTL8168F/RTL8111F Gigabit
Ethernet controllers, version 8.040.00

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.

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,
