Under 32bit the tulip driver works fine, but under 64 bit it gives me a
lot if problems. I updated the tulip
to what is in the current repository, and the issue still exists. Any
suggestions.

First off it continually sends data out the network interface and never
negotiates is speed and duplex.
Second in the log files all I see is an uninformative message
0000:00:07.0: tulip_stop_rxtx() failed

Here is all the bootup information differences I can find on the driver
64 bit

Dec 31 16:01:29 lfs tulip1: ***WARNING***: No MII transceiver found!

Dec 31 16:01:16 lfs tulip1: MII transceiver #1 config 1000 status 7809
advertising 01e1.

Complete boot log - yes I know the date and time are off.
