[CentOS] how to inject a kmod driver from elrepo into kickstart
Hi All, I have a marvel chipset for my wired laptop connection. It uses the kmod-sk98lin-10.93.3.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm driver at elrepo. I would like to use this driver to activate the wired connection to kickstart my laptop as I have pxe booting set upon my home network. Could anyone please enlighten me as to how to get the drivers/firmware from this package loaded on my laqptop so I can use kickstart to load the OS, please?
