RE: Tyan Tomcat i815T(S2080) LAN problems

[Ryan C. Bonham]

Hi,

I installed kernel 2.4.17 and this problem still exists. I have attached the important stuff from demesg and from eepro100-diag.

 *****  The EEPROM checksum is INCORRECT!  *****
  The checksum is 0xFF00, it should be 0xBABA!
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
  Station address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
  Board assembly ffffff-255, Physical connectors present: RJ45 BNC AUI MII
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #-1.
    Secondary interface chip i82555, PHY -1.
   Sleep mode is enabled.  This is not recommended.
   Under high load the card may not respond to
   PCI requests, and thus cause a master abort.
   To clear sleep mode use the '-G 0 -w -w -f' options..
