Hi,<br>
<br>
I've backported mac802154_hwsim for you for el7. I've updated your <br>
request here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1035" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1035</a><br>
<br>
Please can you test the package works as expected, then if all is OK we <br>
can move it into the main repository from testing.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Phil<br>
<br>
<br>
