CentOS - Jun 2014 - Realtek device 5249 kernel module for C6 - a request to epel

Hi,

I try to make my SD-reader work on a HP ZBook.

lspci
5d:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5249
(rev 01)

uname -a
Linux Antisana.psc-elsene.be 2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 7
23:32:49 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Googling gave me
http://linuxterminal.org/issue-with-rts5229-pci-express-card-reader/; last reply
by Fran?ois suggests to download the Realtek 5229 driver, edit the Makefile and
rtsx.c and compile.
And it works as stated.

It would be handy if this module could be incorporated with epel. But I
can't find the right way to make such a request. (shame on me)

Thanks for any pointer
Patrick

You probably want ELRepo, not EPEL.

You can file an RFE here against el6:
