The thinkwiki link in comment 8 has a section which suggests that checking the checksum a second time causes it to validate. Would this patch be acceptable to us? Checking a broken checksum a second time doesn't immediately sound insane/dangerous, but making a commonly used chipset work in more situations would be extremely useful. For a regular user, this bug appears like "Ubuntu doesn't support my network card", and they very probably won't end up finding out about a modprobe option, or know what to do with it.
