The last time I tried a 64 bit kernel with lasi_82596.c (a few
weeks ago), the network card would not work.  When the driver
loaded it complained that sizeof(somestruct) was 64.  I had a
look at the code and saw that it was expecting it to be 32.

I've been using 32 bit kernels since then.  I don't think
lasi_82596.c has changed significantly since I last tried it in
a 64 bit kernel.

This was on a D270.
