Announcing the release of new kmod-alx packages into the EL6 testing
repository:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-alx
This package provides the alx kernel module for the latest
Atheros/Qualcomm AR8161/AR8161 Ethernet devices.
It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of
releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one
specific build.
It has been created as a result of the following RFE:
http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=306
More information about this driver including supported devices is
available at the driver webpage here:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx
It should be noted that this is a beta driver that has yet to make it
into the upstream kernel (kernel.org). We welcome feedback on the
package (essential if it is to be promoted from the testing repository),
although feedback and patches for the driver are best directed to the
upstream mailing list (backpo...@vger.kernel.org) or directly to the
developers (nic-de...@qualcomm.com).
The following files are currently syncing to the mirrors:
kmod-alx-0.0-1.20121003.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-alx-0.0-1.20121003.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
alx-kmod-0.0-1.20121003.el6.elrepo.src.rpm
Thank you,
The ELRepo Team.
