network trouble on 68360 (ACE360/HSB)

[Joe Novosel]

Hello,
I have recently started working with RTEMS (personal use).
I am using an ACE360/HSB board.
Here's my trouble:
I'm attempting to use the 4.5.0 release.  (Redhat 7.1 and pd bdm interface 
with gdb 5.0)
I can get everything working fine except I can't TRANSMIT ethernet packets.  
I can recieve just fine since MAC addresses are being learned (see below)

I get "carrier sense lost" and the packet is thrown away.  
I have compiled RTEMS with and without support for the Atlas HSB.

I have tried this on several boards with different memory configurations and 
power supplies (both a stand-alone and lab supply)  Also I've tried several 
different network cables and direct connect to the pc with a xover cable.  
I'm getting link indication.

I've looked at the instructions that I have for the board and everything 
SEEMS to be set up correctly.  

This is the output from "netdemo"
