Hi. 

I am using the eepro100 driver that comes w/ 2.2.15 (1.09j-t). At boot up
I get this message when the module loads:


May  6 00:49:45 dieselmeat kernel: eth0: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0x79f5,
check settings before activating this device!

The interface is up, everything seems normal, but I can't get a route out
the interface.  

The card works fine w/ 2.2.14 which used 1.06 (I believe) and gives me
this message:

Thanks in advance
