It's completely not acceptable to run when the EEPROM checksum fails - you might even be running with the wrong MAC address, or worse. Lets fix this the right way instead.
A printk which helps the user to understand all this saga would be very nice.

And if someone who understands all of these details could put a note

it would be greatly appreciated.


why don't I do that :)


Andrew: I'm contemplating that printk...
