Hi all,
I would like to rebuild a kmod.src.rpm package for a specific kernel.

Thanks.
Somewhere in your spec file there is a kvariant defined, looks like this
# Define the variants for each architecture.
%define basevar
%ifarch i686
%define paevar PAE
%endif
%ifarch i686 x86_64
%define xenvar xen
%endif
# If kvariants isn't defined on the rpmbuild line, build all variants for
this $
%{!?kvariants: %define kvariants %{?basevar} %{?xenvar} %{?paevar}}
edit these lines to your needs
in your case I would change it to this and it should work
# Define the variants for each architecture.
%define basevar
%ifarch i686
#%define paevar PAE
%endif
%ifarch i686 x86_64
%define xenvar xen

Anyone have any idea as how to make this chip do the promiscuous mode
thing other than adding another nic card ?
If it is an original Intel board D945GCLF with the Atom 230, I suggest
downloading the driver from the Intel website

I compiled the driver manually (at the time elrepo didn't exist) from
the Intel website, it has been working fine, and I regularly check my
tcpdump, dmesg even states that it enter promiscuous mode and exits
device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
device eth0 left promiscuous mode
only thing I did that wasn't in the manual is manually delete the r8169

So far I have seen how to read the Audio CD and make a directory of WAV files with a control file for later burning to CD, but I want an iso image that I can archive and burn audio CDs to use as they get used up.
