Please note that I am not associated with the Project while you read this. I think that this is a bug with the em driver on the 5.X series. You did note that it's a "new technology" release and not "advertised" to be suitable for everybody, right? IIRC, there have been issues with both em(4) and ACPI on the -HEAD (CURRENT, 5.X) code for a while. Good programmers are giving lots of the time and energy, coding for free to get it working, but some things are tricky. You might run without ACPI for a while, switch NICs until the problem is fixed, or run 4.9 or 4.10 [which is due out Real Soon Now(tm)] instead of 5.2 .... Kevin Kinsey
