(most eeproms indeed END in all 0xff bytes). Thanks for clarifying that, I suspected it to be the case, but wanted confirmation since it is a new company laptop :O The first thing I did was to reboot in 2.6.25 and verify the ethernet - it was fully functional via DHCP. Also to me, the MAC address seems fine: linux-7vph:/ # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:25:95:93:EC BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Memory:fc200000-fc220000 (Right now, I'm using iwlagn, not ethernet) > does the e1000e driver still load? do you get 'bad eeprom checksum' errors on boot? Well it loads fine now, but this is after I have switched back to 2.6.26.5. Too scared to try 2.6.27 again, but I definitely saw a boot message in an asterisk surrounded block that said something about NVRAM checksum(?)... >From some of the earlier posts I read that this bug surfaced on s2ram / s2disk, not sure if there are other corruption "triggers".
