Announcing the release of updated kmod-alx packages into the EL6 elrepo 
repository:

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

The following files are currently syncing to the mirrors:


x86
kmod-alx-0.0-10.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-alx-0.0-10.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

SRPMS
alx-kmod-0.0-10.el6.elrepo.src.rpm


This package provides an updated alx driver for Atheros
AR8161/AR8162/AR8171/AR8172 ethernet devices backported from 
kernel-3.10.103 which fixes a DMA RX overflow issue which could cause 
the network link to be lost 1-5 minutes after the device is up.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70761

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.


Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
