> With that commented everything works splendid Well not really as none of the HW configuration setting have been loaded out of the EEPROM. The NIC may still work but you could run into problems like the PHY not being configured correctly which can cause link problem as certain cable lengths for example.

So you need to figure out if the EEPROM isn't configured correctly or if you are having trouble reading the EEPROM on that system. So with the checksum code commented out as you have it now see what happens when you dump the contents of the EEPROM using ethtool. It should give us a clue as to what the issue is. Your NIC may not have been programmed and you'll need to return it for one that has been programmed correctly.
