I'm having a problem with a network card in my RH 6.2 workstation. Its a new installation of the OS. I can't bring up the eth0 interface....

[root@rh6 /root]# dmesg | grep eth0 > eth0_error.txt

eth0: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0x9633, check settings before activating this device!
eth0: Intel PCI EtherExpress Pro100 at 0xc2820000, 00:F0:ED:6D:77:F6, IRQ 9.
eth0: 0 multicast blocks dropped.

[root@rh6 /root]# service network restart

It came up one time for some reason after a cold boot. The one time it came up, it was able to obtain an IP from a DHCP server and I didn't have any problems with it at all. After that one time, I haven't been able to bring it up again.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
CP
