Hi Phil,
One thing I noticed in the summer last year but did not isolate at all
was that when I was running both the r8168 and r8169 drivers in a box
which had both cards, the 8169 NIC would not come up on boot and had to
be modprobed after boot. I got round it by:
echo "modprobe r8169" > /etc/sysconfig/modules/r8169.modules
chmod +x /etc/sysconfig/modules/r8169.modules
This got the driver to load much earlier in the boot sequence.
The person who tested the via-rhine driver found the same here:
https://www.clearos.com/clearfoundation/social/community/clearos-7-4-beta#reply-190651
(and the following post) with drivers compiled for 7.4.
Regards,
Nick

Hi Phil,
As the r8169 does not carry 7_4 in its file name, does that mean it
is backwards compatible with earlier kernels/versions of EL7?

No, the newly built package is only compatible with the 7.4 kernel,
but I didn't know that at the time of rebuilding it.
