i have this error:

register_vlan_device: Device eth0 has buggy VLAN hw accel
[/quote]

This looks more like a driver issue than anything related to our packaging of the driver. I would advise that you report the issue upstream. If you are able to obtain (or know of) a patch then we'd be happy to incorporate it for you to test.

The URL to the source code used for this driver was provided in this CentOS forum post [1]. As can be seen [2], it points directly to the JMicron ftp server and so the driver source used comes directly from the upstream vendor. (Hence there is no copying error on the part of either Red Hat or CentOS.)

If anyone would like to provide a patch for the driver, it will be incorporated.

Hi Yesterday I sent the same info to:
netdev@vger.kernel.org

I had the following reply

Message happens if driver sets hardware vlan filtering but
provides no callback.
The driver appears okay in upstream kernel, most likely something
got lost in backport process in redhat or the copying of redhat
done by centos.

I hope this could be usefull.

Reminder sent to: cooldavid

There seems to be some confusion as to the source of the driver.

It's origin is not Red Hat nor CentOS but the JMicron ftp server.

Stephen Hemminger's comments ("The driver appears okay in upstream kernel, most likely something got lost in backport process in redhat or the copying of redhat done by centos.") are, therefore, not relevant.

Please see note 226.

The driver from JMicron FTP was written by me.
And can also be download from this URL:
http://bbs.cooldavid.org/jme/browser/tags/jme-1.0.5/jmmod [^]

Since the origin of the driver is from me,
I'll have it fixed shortly.

Re: note 236.

When the package has been built, it will be announced both here and on the ELRepo mailing lists.

Both cooldavid (the author of the driver's source code) and ELRepo (the packagers of the driver) will then appreciate your feed-back.

The updated kmod-jme package (version 1.0.6) is now available in the elrepo-testing repository.

Please update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=elrepo --enablerepo=elrepo-testing update kmod-jme

Then ensure that the old version is unloaded by either:

service network stop
modprobe -r jme
service network start

or just re-boot the system.

Yes ! Thanks a lot !
I used a different procedure to upgrade the system:
I copied the file and then:
rpm -Uvh kmod-jme-1.0.6-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

I had some warnings during the execution of the rpm procedure but the new release works fine !
Thakns for the very fast support !
