Hey Gleb,
Acknowledge... I can do better than that, I have a fix for this problem, and
its not temporary. Here is the code change (not a patch, I'm very busy),
its in hardware_init, should be obvious how to patch:
/* Make sure we have a good EEPROM before we read from it */
if (e1000_validate_nvm_checksum(&adapter->hw) < 0) {
/*
** Some PCI-E parts fail the first check due to
** the link being in sleep state, call it again,
** if it fails a second time its a real issue.
*/
if (e1000_validate_nvm_checksum(&adapter->hw) < 0) {
device_printf(dev,
"The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid\n");
return (EIO);
}
}
This is already checked into my code base at Intel, I've just been too
busy to do anything with it, be my guest if you wish to check it in after
testing...
I accidentally found this :
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67166
which patches the eeprom. And it solves by problem.

Rong-En Fan
