I run several machines with em network cards and 5.2.1-p3 with no 
issues.  I noticed your netmask is 255.255.254.0.  I wonder if the issue 
only occurs with certain (rare?) netmasks.  I'm definitely grasping for 
straws here.  In any case, it's ~4:30am local time so I will crawl off 
to bed and hope this doesn't sound too moronic in the morning...
