hi,
I wrote an issue about it:
https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1572
and for me it was very clear it's a serious bug, but it seems I've to
explain it more details.
The problem:
kmod-r8125 blacklist r8169 kmod.
The bigger problem:
It was not doing it on el 9.6 but do it on 9.7! Which cause if someone
install kmod-r8125 on a system which has any other realtek network
device it's stop working and no longer be able to access to the system
remotely.
So it's a serious regression!
What's more can be solved only in place!
Why it's so big problem? eg we've got a few thousands of server in a few
dozens of country...and wouldn't like to travel...
we keep the installed package list identical on all of our server, but
of course the hardware is not exactly the same.
of course i can solve this simple rebuild the buggy rpm, but imho it's a
much larger problem.
blacklist is for module for identical hardware eg nvidia and nouveau,
but in this case kmod-r8125 blacklist r8169 which is a much larger set
of hardware list. and the suggestion to install kmod-r8168 is not a
solution or have to install to all kmod-r*.
in case of i install ANY of the elrepo kmod the system still have to be
usable and working (what's more should have to be better). this is not
the case with kmod-r8125.
So IMHO this move is very serious regression what's more these changes
have to revert in all similar places.
regards.
