Installation of Dell network driver from dell-hardware-auto repository on CentOS 5

[Eugene Pik]

Hi Brian,
I have following kernel and dkms related packages installed:

kernel.x86_64                            2.6.18-92.1.6.el5      installed
kernel.x86_64                            2.6.18-92.1.1.el5      installed
kernel.x86_64                            2.6.18-53.1.21.el5     installed
kernel-devel.x86_64                    2.6.18-53.1.21.el5     installed
kernel-devel.x86_64                    2.6.18-92.1.6.el5      installed
kernel-devel.x86_64                    2.6.18-92.1.1.el5      installed
kernel-headers.x86_64                2.6.18-92.1.6.el5      installed
dkms.noarch                              2.0.17-1.el5             installed

Do I need any of these?

kernel-debug.x86_64                   2.6.18-92.1.6.el5      updates
kernel-debug-devel.x86_64           2.6.18-92.1.6.el5      updates
yum-kernel-module.noarch           1.1.10-9.el5.centos    base

Eugene
