Public bug reported:
This bug has reappeard. 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
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.
