[elrepo] Announcement: EL5, EL6 and EL7 Updated kmod-r8169 Release [6.020.00-1]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-r8169 packages into the EL5,
EL6 and EL7 elrepo repositories:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-r8169

This package provides an updated r8169 kernel module for Realtek
RTL8169, RTL8169SB(L), RTL8169SC(L), RTL8110S-32, RTL8110SB(L) and
RTL8110SC(L) Gigabit Ethernet controllers, version 6.020.00

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-r8169

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 r8169
/sbin/modprobe r8169
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,
