Just as a data point, my Dell E6400 still shuts down fine in both 2.6.37-rc7 and -rc7-git2. This one has integrated Intel video (i915) and I use the out-of-tree broadcom-sta driver for the wireless interface. If needed, I can post my .config in the bugzilla entry (but won't, unless asked - in order to avoid possible bug noise). --alessandro "There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck" (Radiohead, "There There") -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
