Anyone having similar problems? Any fixes?

I'm running Mandrake 7.0 (kernel 2.2.14-15mdk)

Here's what I get from 'dmesg':

eepro100.c:v1.09l 8/7/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/eepro100.html
eth0: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0xff00, check settings before activating this device!

  Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
  Board assembly ffffff-255, Physical connectors present: RJ45 BNC AUI MII

    Secondary interface chip i82555.

 Verify that the card is a bus-master capable slot.

Here's the output from 'cat /proc/pci':
