I know that the usual trick to install a LAN driver and all dependencies is probably to yum install it from elrepo by putting in an old PCI ethernet card, a known wireless USB adapter, a USB-ethernet adapter, etc., but I'm stuck with a system where it will be difficult to do any of those.<br>
<br>Is this kind of catch-22 so unusual that there is know well known procedure for, say, downloading the entire el6 repo on a local system, burning it to dvd(s) and loading it so yum has a local copy to work from?<br><br>
PS: My driver is kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.14-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm and yes I did thumb-drive it over and attempted a straight rpm -- no go due to dependencies.<br><br>
