Fix for drivers/net/natsemi.c on 64 bit platforms

[Martin Frey]

Hi,

the natsemi.c Ethernet driver cuts the upper bits of
the address when accessing the EEPROM. Changing "int ee_addr"
to "long ee_addr" in eeprom_read() fixes the problem for me on Alpha.
The Bug is in the 2.2.x driver from Donald as
well as in the 2.4.x driver. I tested the patch
only on 2.4.x however, since it is actually trivial, I guess
it will also work for Donalds version.

Here is the patch for 2.4.10:

        int read_cmd = location | EE_ReadCmd;
        writel(EE_Write0, ee_addr);
