Hi Chris,

The fact that you are getting this error with the new driver could be a
sign that the EEPROM on your system is misconfigured.  If you could send
us the device ID for the part and a copy of the EEPROM dump for the part
via "ethtool -e" we could start work on our end to verify the EEPROM and
hardware are functional with the latest driver.

Thanks,

Alex
