Yeah, I have. The error is replicated just by giving the machine
something to do. It might also have something to do with the auto
neogation and the switch.

the wierd thing is that the only message in the log is:
Nov 10 13:29:58 caius kernel: em0: link state changed to DOWN
Nov 10 13:29:59 caius kernel: em0: link state changed to UP
Nov 10 13:30:08 caius kernel: em0: link state changed to DOWN
Nov 10 13:30:10 caius kernel: em0: link state changed to UP

Nothing else :/
