** Description changed: This bug has re-appeared. Googling shows this error going back to 2.6.17 but having a fix committed in 8.04.1. I am using 8.04.1 with a kernel updated to 2.6.26-5. - Solved by setting via terminal the MAC : sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether - 00:1c:25:1e:0f:e6 or by putting this command in the local.rc file + Solved by setting the MAC via terminal command : sudo ifconfig eth0 hw + ether 00:1c:25:1e:0f:e6 OR by putting this command in the local.rc file original dmesg: e1000: 0000:00:19.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid [ 3.237072] /*********************/ [ 3.237072] Current EEPROM Checksum : 0xdcc7 [ 3.237072] Calculated : 0x5cc7 The MAC Address will be reset to 00:00:00:00:00:00, which is invalid [ 3.237072] and requires you to set the proper MAC address manually before continuing [ 3.237072] to enable this network device. eth0 is an Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit PC is a Thinkpad Lenovo T61p Also failed under 2.6.27-3 (Alpha 5 Ubuntu 8.10).
