Hi Phil,

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.

Regards,

Nick

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

$ sudo modprobe r8169

I don't have the hardware to test, but the module is present and loads into the kernel just fine.
