    Just to verify, I would assume you've checked the following?:

            - Bad Cable - May not have appeared until it got loaded
            - Auto Negotiate Issues (check duplex) - Very common
            - Force to 10mbps to see if it still happens
            - For to half duplex in both 10 & 100 mbps
            - Different physical port on the switch

    I haven't seen any issues on this list with the em driver, but I may be
    wrong. I don't have em cards, so other than the above, I can't offer much.
