Hello,
I am trying to install the kmod-e100 NIC driver for my NIC on my ClearOS 7.2 install. I had successfully installed a kmod-forcedeth on my other ClearOS 7.2 install mostly without a hitch. However, when I try to install the kmod-e100 driver I run into dependency issues. It seems to be a kernel issue. I do have a second NIC that is connected to the internet and is working fine. My kernel, and everything is updated to the lastest versions. I have read that some of the kmod packages may have some kernel issues, and if that is the case, do I need to compile my own rpm? I haven’t ever done that, however if need be, I am confident I can do it with the proper guidance. And I have also checked my hardware, it needs the kmod-e100 driver. The Device ID is [8086:27dc] which ElRepo points to kmod-e100. I am also concerned about future updates. I understand the importance of udating the kernel, and am concerned that when the kernel is updated it will break any custom rpm I may make to fix this issue. Any guidance is appreciated, thanks!

Odd. I've just tried recompiling my kmod-e100 driver and it compiles cleanly. I have a copy here. Are you saying you can compile it but not install it?
Kernel updates should (generally) not break kmod drivers, but they do just occasionally.
What do you get from:

What do you get from:
rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | sort
uname -r
