You're welcome.

Looking at kmod-r8169, I'm not sure it needs rebuilding for el7.4. The 
current package weak-links against the 7.4 series kernels:

$ find /lib/modules/ -name r8169.ko | sort | grep 'extra\|weak'
/lib/modules/3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64/extra/r8169/r8169.ko

$ sudo modprobe r8169

I don't have the hardware to test, but the module is present and loads 
into the kernel just fine.

This one definitely does need rebuilding as it does not weak link 
against 7.4 so the driver will be missing once the user boots to a 7.4 
series kernel.
