First, I'm sorry for my bad english!
There is same problem in the current version of rtems, 20000118a.
I'm working within Redhat 6.0.

The default configurations are used and number of TX buffer is 16(TX_BUF_COUNT
* TX_BD_PER_BUF).
I was just modify two lines within network.c and it is as follows.

    /*
     * Enable the TENA (RTS1*) pin
     */
    m360.pbpar |= 0x1000;
    m360.pbdir |= 0x1000;
/*#if (defined (M68360_ATLAS_HSB))
    m360.pbpar |= 0x1000;
    m360.pbdir |= 0x1000;
#else
    m360.pcpar |=  0x1;
    m360.pcdir &= ~0x1;
#endif*/
