Hi Phil,<br>
<br>
When my box updates (normally a couple of weeks behind the Community
full release) I can check about the r8169 and the weak links. At
some time I would have thought the package would need rebuilding
otherwise anyone wanting to compile from sources would need to
downgrade their kernel and, unless they bump into this thread, they
would not know that.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

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

I don't have the hardware to test, but the module is present and
