Won't I have an issue, though, were the new kernel might be available before the ATrpms module is updated? I was hoping for some sort of dkms solution.
Otherwise I can always just recompile the module myself if there's no automatic version solution available.
Right, the solution will then be either dkms or kernel version-independent kmod. While CentOS does not provide either, the dkms version might become available if you ask dag :-D Try the rpmforge mailing list. If you'd rather go for the kmod way, Alan Bartlett has been offering kABI-tracking kmods for several NIC drivers here:
http://centos.toracat.org/ajb/
I'm quite certain he will be happy to build one for sk98lin.
Yes, he did. :-) Here's the announcement:
"The C-4 kABI tracking kmod rpm packages (i586, i686 & x86_64 -- or, more correctly, 32- & 64-bit) containing the sk98lin driver are now available for public download from:
http://centos.toracat.org/ajb/CentOS-4/sk98lin/ "
I just wanted to add that the CentOS-5 versions is also available.
