[elrepo] kmod-e100

[Greg Yeomans]

Greetings,

I am currently running SL7 on my desktop and I have a e100 ethernet card as
a dedicated ethernet bridge for my VMs.  Unfortunately the latest kernel
that works with the current build of the module os 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.  I
testing this on SL7 and CentOS7 and received the same resullts.

Attempting to install the module without that kernel will pull the kernel
as a dependency.

Besides the obvious of buying a new/supported ethernet card, can this
module be updated to support the newer kernels, or would it require
building the kernel with skb_clone_tx_timestamp enabled.  What other
options do I have to get this card functional with newer kernels.

Thank you in advance,

Greg Yeomans
