Hi, using the IGB driver v5.2.5 together with several i211 NICs I see that all of them are not correctly set up because of NVM checksum errors reported.
Adding a few debug messages I get: [ 2.605249] e1000_validate_nvm_checksum_generic [ 2.605483] e1000_validate_nvm_checksum_generic: checksum=26798 NVM_SUM=47802 [ 2.605500] igb 0000:01:00.0: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid Instead of the expected 0xBABA I get 0x68AE. Linux kernel v3.8 does not set a callback for i211, but does so for i210 e. g. However, skimming through the i211 data sheet I don't see any reference to the 0xBABA checksum word. And because I saw i210 mentioned in the v3.8 driver I checked this data sheet as well. In the i210 dats sheet I see the 0xBABA checksum word documented properly. Is this is a bug in the v5.2.5 driver? Or do I have to contact system manufacturer for updating NVM?
