​The kmod-forcedeth package was rebuilt against the EL7.4 kernel (​
3.10.0-693.el7
​)​ and has been released to the elrepo-testing repository. It will appear
soon here:

http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-forcedeth-0.64-3.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Or other mirror sites. Can you run a test? Please note that this is not
backward compatible with earlier (<= 7.3) kernels.
