Comment 241 for bug 263555

See bug 428180 - I can load the e1000 just fine but it does not work at all.

after: echo "8086 104b" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000/new_id

I see the following in dmesg:
e1000 0000:00:19.0: setting latency timer to 64
e1000: 0000:00:19.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid

Include this output when contacting your support provider.
This is not a software error! Something bad happened to your hardware or
EEPROM image. Ignoring this problem could result in further problems,
possibly loss of data, corruption or system hangs!
The MAC Address will be reset to 00:00:00:00:00:00, which is invalid
and requires you to set the proper MAC address manually before continuing
to enable this network device.
Please inspect the EEPROM dump and report the issue to your hardware vendor
or Intel Customer Support.
