Dear all,

I have a strange problem with the the igb driver and a i350 NIC.

When I boot I often (but not always) have a "The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid" 
messages and the NIC won't get initialized. The other times it boots well 
without any problems. When I uncomment the error message in igb_main.c the next 
problem is: "NVM Read Error" and  "Invalid MAC Address"

This is the output with the default ubuntu driver:

using the newest driver makes no difference. Any help would be great!

Thanks!
