igbe: SPI EEPROM access not implemented

i tried to compile the kernel and try again but with the same error
pci | grep net  ===> 2.1.0: net 02.00.00 8086/1019 10 0:e0100000

grep 1019 /sys/src/9/pc/etherigbe.c  ====>    i82547ei = (0x1019<<16)|
0x8086,

is there anyone have the same problem ? and how can i fix that if
possible

Thanks


Hello !

I have gotten  "igbe: bad EEPROM checksum" message on my IBM (Lenovo) T61 Tablet.
I've took a look at NetBSD kernel sources (if_wm.c), that recommends to read EEPROM twice :)

Comment from if_wm.c:

/*
* Read twice again because some PCI-e parts fail the
* first check due to the link being in sleep state.
*/

Maybe helpful :)
