Just installed 5.3 onto an Epia 800 just a few weeks back and aside from

after I put it into active service. Here's the error I'm getting in my
logs repeatedly.

Yeah, I've seen that network flakyness with vr0 on my EPIA M8000 (or whatever
the model number is).
Using a really good cable and a switch port seems to help, and the VIA Rhine
NIC seems OK for low traffic, but I'm still using a 300MHz old P2 Dell box with
an fxp0 rather than my EPIA as a local proxy server as I had wanted to do.

PS: I'm giving some thought to getting a Mac Mini instead. The EPIA case I've
got is reasonably small, 11" x ~24" x 4", but a Mini is 6.5" x 6.5" x 2"...!
