The problem is the the PCI chip ID. The i82559ER has 0x1209 instead of
0x1229
(used for i82557..559). The vendor ID is 0x8086 in all cases ( = intel )
!
I have done a local patch in GRUB to handle
(1) the i82559er also
(2) use the new EEPROM access routines to avoid the error concerning
checksums and reading wrong MAC addresses, etc.
I will deliver the patch to GRUB very soon (inside next days) !
Cheers
