When talking about 0xBABA I am referring to chapter 6.8.8 'Checksum
Word' of the i210 datasheet.

I see that the sourceforge driver v5.2.5 (giving the csum error)
is checking for NVM_SUM (0xBABA), whereas the Linux v3.8 version does
not, it has no .validate callback.

I am just wondering why both drivers have different behaviour, and
which one is correct.  Esp. so after checking both datasheets.

I send an inquiry to the HW manufacturer already today.
