Update to Linux Kernel 4.10-rc2. Terminal commands to install Linux Kernel 4.10-rc2 on Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 16.04 Systems. Linux Kernel 4.10-rc2 fixes build failure, vlan handling and add support for RTL8168 series add-on card. It also brings various fixes for architecture and networking issues.
Announcing the release, Linux wrote:
Hey, it’s been a really slow week between Christmas Day and New Years Day, and I am not complaining at all. It does mean that rc2 is ridiculously and unrealistically small. I almost decided to skip rc2 entirely, but a small little meaningless release every once in a while never hurt anybody. So here it is.
The only even remotely noticeable work here is the DAX fixups that really arguably should have been merge window material but depended on stuff during this merge window and were delayed until rc2 due to that. Even that wasn’t big, and the rest is trivial small fixes.
I’m expecting things to start picking up next week as people recover from the holidays.
