[Bug 43530] Re: [dapper] e1000 reports invalid eeprom

[Ben Collins]

** Summary changed:

- Kernel 2.6.15-22.34 fails to see e1000 card or atheros OR ipw3945
+ [dapper] e1000 reports invalid eeprom

** Description changed:

- 
  I just installed kernel 2.6.15-22.34 and now have no networking
  whatsoever. Dmesg shows:
  
  [4294693.007000] e1000: 0000:02:00.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum
  Is Not Valid
  [4294693.007000] e1000: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -5
  
  which suggests a problem with the firmware or the driver for the e1000
  NIC.
- 
- Also:
- 
- [4294693.681000] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64
- [4294693.681000] ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
- Connection[4294693.794000] **** SET: Misaligned resource pointer:
- f7bc9e42 Type 00 Len 42
- [4294693.794000] **** SET: Misaligned resource pointer: f7bc9ec6 Type 07
- Len 0
- [4294693.795000] pnp: Device 00:09 activated.
- 
- Not sure what this means, but I definitely don't see the ipw3945 listed
- anywhere useful in the system.
- 
- And finally I also see this in dmesg, which explains why the Netgear
- PCMCIA wifi card I have plugged in is not working:
- 
- [4294694.236000] pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0

- [4294694.362000] ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_hal_getwirelessmodes
- 
- Clearly, this is not a good result.
- 
-  affects /distros/ubuntu
