open terminal (gnome alt+f2) and type the following command
sudo bash -c ‘echo “options e100 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1″ >> /etc/modprobe.d/options’
or
echo “options e100 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1″ | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/options
should work though.ethernet cards are loaded from initrd so you need to update that to get it on boot time
sudo update-initramfs -u
Now you need to reboot your system
