By all means, try filing a support request. Unless the RHEL-6 kernel gets the updated driver, CentOS-6 would not. I suppose (hope) you can send in a request without having to provide all technical details. Just mention the "fact" that the driver in the RHEL-6 kernel does not work while a newer version from ELRepo works and see how they handle the case. > Glad there is the ELrepo! :) Always good to hear a success story like this.
