Makes no difference if the sudo is there or not. 
First just to show that from a physical perspective the 7i92 is there on 
192.168.1.121 

pi@linuxcnc:~/mesaflash $ ping 192.168.1.121
PING 192.168.1.121 (192.168.1.121) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.121: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.120 ms

But the mesaflash software doesn't know it's supposed to use the default ip.
pi@linuxcnc:~/mesaflash $ ./mesaflash  --device 7i92 --readhmid
lbp16_access.send_packet: Resource temporarily unavailable
Aborted
pi@linuxcnc:~/mesaflash $ ./mesaflash  --device 7i92 --addr 192.168.1.121 
--readhmid
Configuration Name: HOSTMOT2

General configuration information:

  BoardName : MESA7I92
  FPGA Size: 9 KGates
  FPGA Pins: 144


BTW.  The upside is that now we have something reproducible.   It may well be 
something outside of mesaflash but the issue doesn't show up with older 
versions of the OS and what really amazed me is it worked on the Beagle.  Has 
me wondering if booted a machinekit onto the beagle would it work?  Probably 
not.  The hm2_eth is probably not compatible with machinekit but just curious.
