Tell me more about this ichwd problem, ich9 is actually giving me a headache

right at the moment due to this problem on some systems with the em driver
finding the EEPROM to have a bad checksum. Have you seen this issue?

I have only had brief access to a new i7 server,  did so to make 32+ queues
work for the ixgbe driver, only complaint I have is they take a LONG time to
boot (must be some server thing :), but otherwise I was impressed, would
like
to replace the server in my cube with one but that won't happen for a while.

Regards,

Jack
