Hi

We are using a i210 in flashless mode, programming the iNVM seems to have 
worked but when igb is loaded, it reports a checksum error.

[    6.883496] Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Driver - version 5.0.6
[    6.883510] Copyright (c) 2007-2013 Intel Corporation.
[    6.883716] igb 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[    6.884664] igb 0000:03:00.0: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X
[    6.884700] igb 0000:03:00.0: irq 43 for MSI/MSI-X
[    6.900451] igb 0000:03:00.0: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid
[    6.949623] igb: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -5

When I comment out the NVM checksum check in the driver it reports a "Invalid 
MAC Address" ...


What I did is the following:

./eeupdate32 /NIC=1 /FILE=I210_Invm_Copper_NoAPM_v0.6.txt /MAC=xxxxxxxxxxxx 
/INVMUPDATE
./eeupdate32 /NIC=1 /ADAPTERRESET

Output was:
1:  Updating MAC Address to xxxxxxxxxxxx...Done.
1:  Updating Checksum and CRCs...Done.
Update INVM content ... Verify autoload configuration ... done.

I left the file I210_Invm_Copper_NoAPM_v0.6.txt unchanged. Did I miss something 
there?


eeupdate shows correct device ID (NIC 2 is unprogramed):
