[elrepo] Possible addition of more kernel modules in future Centos6 kernels?

[David Ranch]

Hello Alan,

I just installed the EL7-ml and EL7-lt kernels and I didn't see any of 
these kernel modules.  Are they expected to be there in EL7 too?

# Here is the current EL7-LT kernel
#
[dranch at dranch-desktop boot]$ grep HAM config-4.4.70-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
# CONFIG_HAMRADIO is not set


#Here is the current EL-ML kernel
#
[dranch at dranch-desktop boot]$ grep HAM config-4.11.3-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
# CONFIG_HAMRADIO is not set


--David
