The bug you are seeing is driver specific and has not much to do with "clean net device shutdown". Aparently, the ->close() method of the 3c509.c driver returns before the chip is truly done shutting down. How to do this correctly is hardware specific, and therefore the in order to code the fix you'll need to understand how the 3c509 chip works. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
