| Summary | 0000487: kmod-forcedeth for el7 | ||||
| Description | Today I attempted to install EL7 on some consumer grade hardware and discovered that Redhat has removed the forcedeth network module in EL7. I am not sure how you all decide which modules get added to elrepo, but I have created a kmod-forcedeth package, heavily based on kmod-e1000.el7. I have attached the srpm to this ticket. forcedeth-0.64.tar.gz was tar'd from linux-3.12.24/drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia. Makefile was modified from: obj-$(CONFIG_FORCEDETH) += forcedeth.o to obj-m += forcedeth.o kmodtool-forcedeth-el7.sh was copied from kmodtool-e1000e-el7.sh. I commented out 'echo "%doc /usr/share/man/man7/"' as there are no man pages for this module. It would be awesome if you can add this to elrepo. However, I would completely understand if it is inappropriate to add deprecated (by redhat) modules. | ||||
