I recall seeing this when I was trying to use an old tulip based
Ethernet card. I tried another card - a $20 Realtek based gigabit card
- and that problem went away. I concluded that the old card had flaws
that caused it to not work well with a faster CPU. (It had worked
without difficulty with an 850 MHz Athlon.) One other hint was that my
DHCP server logged the request but the AMD64 client never saw them.

thanks,
