Hi
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with an issue I am seeing with 8021q module..
The issue is as below:
An attempt to remove an 802.1q VLAN frequently results in failure. The problem can occur both when manually removing the interface and when shutting down the operating system. When the failure occurs, a message similar to the following is repeatedly printed to the console approximately every ten seconds.
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0.10 to become free. Usage count = 3
After the error has occurred, any further attempts to configure network interfaces are unsuccessful and the system cannot be rebooted or shutdown via software.
Below are other relevant information:
I am using RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, architecture=i386, kernel=2.6.9-5.ELsmp
