[cobalt-users] [RaQ3i] ethernet port damaged...?

[space cookie <space_biscuit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I think I have narrowed down my problem with reaching
my raq-unit over my LAN.

Reading the boot-up report from the serial console I
noticed these lines:

eth0: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0x6ceb, check settings
before activating this dev!
eth0: Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 at 0x1100,
00:10:E0:01:0B:5B, IRQ 11.


and then this also:

Setting hostname www.[something].net
rm: cannot unlink `/tmp/.lcdlock': Read-only file
system


Perhaps these messages may explain why I cannot reach
my unit through the LAN, nor reset my IP values
through the LCD panel?

How can I test my eth0 port via root-command-line, or
is there some other tests I might run?  How screwed am
I if this NIC interface is completely broken?  Are we
talking a lot of $$....?

Thanks much for any input out there...,

~ Theo
