okay, the reason the eeprom checksum is wrong is that the data
coming from your card.  this is where the station address aka mac is stored.
and other important defaults. so either we're doing it wrong or it really is corrupt.

the first option is more attactive.  in at93c46r() there's a switch statement
on what type of ctlr you have.  try adding your controller type after
	case i82546eb:
perhaps igbe is using the wrong method.
