[eepro100] Problems with onboard

[Kallol Biswas]

 Are you sure your onboard card has an EEPROM in it? Normally FFF... means
 EEPROM does not exist, though there may be some other problem. I got
 similar EEPROM bytes in early IA-64 boxes, with onboard 82559.
 
 
 
 
 
  
  I have a problem making the onboard interface on an Jumptec Cool Monster
  work.
  I tried the recent driver from scyld. The problem seems to be, that the
  EEPROM contents 
  (which includes the HW MAC) is not read out correctly.
  Trying an ifconfig after installing the driver module (any of the one I
  tried) gives an HW MAC 
  address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Checking the interface chip with eepro100-diag
  and read out the complete 
  eeprom contents shows the same effect for the whole eeprom.

   *****  The EEPROM checksum is INCORRECT!  *****
    The checksum is 0xFF00, it should be 0xBABA!

  Anybody any ideas ???
  Kind Regards and Thanks in advance
