Hardware problem 'update'

[Madison Kelly]

That Adapter ROM checksum failure is a very good indication that the 
network card's ROM is, indeed, toast. Is it an add-in card? If so, can 
you replace it (even temporarily) with another one? If it is on-board 
than I think you don't have much choice but to take the machine back.
