This probably won't fix the problem, but you might want to change your
mask to 255.0.0.0 for that network range.

Check /var/log/messages, as well as dmesg. It isn't unusual for someone
to compile a kernel and not use all the modules they used before, and
leave the old modules still there, which would make trying to load them
fail. Then there is /etc/conf.modules (sometimes named modules.conf),
which if it describes loading of modules that are no longer used, can
still try to load them. It would all depend, but if ping works to
localhost, unlikely it is a cause of failure elsewhere.
