Regarding the thread accessible at: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/bdc8fd08fb601c26
that ended with "looks like it is specific to your hardware", Can I check where we are with this? I've just had a small installation run fail on 3 boxes with the same problems, on new hardware, which sort of suggests there is no longer a shortage of test scenarios. To summarise, in my case it looks as though it really was a bad checksum, by using the eepro100 driver and the lucky-fortune eeprom tool at http://www.hockin.org/~thockin/enet_eeprom/enet_eeprom.tgz I was able to re-write the mac address and thus have the EEPROM checksum re-calculated. I don't recall the original reporter (John) saying that he had tried this. I'm still checking with my supplier to see how this could have happened.
