Hi Danie,

I've just checked in the master configuration files for the ELRepo
kernel-ml packages and find that ENA_ETHERNET is enabled for both el7
& el8.

el7/config-5.6/config-5.6.5-x86_64:CONFIG_ENA_ETHERNET=m
el7/config-5.7/config-5.7.0-x86_64:CONFIG_ENA_ETHERNET=m

el8/config-5.6/config-5.6.5-x86_64:CONFIG_ENA_ETHERNET=m
el8/config-5.7/config-5.7.0-x86_64:CONFIG_ENA_ETHERNET=m

Alan.
