Re: new kernel and bcm5820

[Thomas Joseph <thomas specusa com>]

Hello,

A quick search  at 
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/7.2/i386/bcm5820-1.17-6.i386.html 
says that it is Broadcom Cryptonet BCM5820 driver for Linux.

You will find more info at 
http://www.broadcom.com/cgi-bin/pr/prps.cgi?pr_id=PR000926A

Do an rpm -e if you do not use it and retry kernel upgrade. It worked for me.

Best RGDS
