What I mean is that if the USB device has not been *physically* disconnected then its usb_device::state will not be USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED. So rtl8152_disconnect() will not set the RTL8152_UNPLUG flag and rtl8152_close() will still call napi_disable() which will hang. Some options to fix this: - Add a separate flag which rtl8152_close() checks and rtl8152_disconnect() always sets - Call dev_close() before netif_napi_del() Ben. -- Ben Hutchings, Software Developer Codethink Ltd https://www.codethink.co.uk/ Dale House, 35 Dale Street Manchester, M1 2HF, United Kingdom
