CentOS - Sep 2020 - A Request to Add module to CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)

Hi Phil,

Not sure if you've had time to look at this? As mentioned middleware, like
docker-ce, is preventing us from moving to el8.

Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,

I've succeeded in backporting mac802154_hwsim for you as a standalone 
kmod package for el7. I've updated your request here:
