e100: allow bad MAC address when running with invalid eeprom csum
Seved Torstendahl <seved.torstendahl@netinsight.net> suggested to let the module parameter for invalid eeprom checksum control the valid mac address test. If this bypass happens we should print a different message, or at least one that is correct, maybe something like below Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
