[elrepo] Announcement: EL6 and EL7 Updated kmod-e1000e Release [3.3.4-1]

[Nick Howitt]

Hi,

I've had a couple of users report an installation issue using the rpm 
I've directly compiled from source for ClearOS 7.2 (Centos derivative):

    |# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck

In both cases the users have said the module installed - one then 
uninstalled and reinstalled without errors. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks,

Nick
