MORE DATA!

I'm also having the "won't power down" problem -- "FAIL" message in red on the console. Xubuntu 64 bit, Oneiric 11.10

I use an edimax USB wireless dongle.

However, when I switched to a TP-LINK TL-WN321G (stolen from my other near-identical machine, which doesn't have the problem) the problem went away.

I don't have any network drives. Just starting up ubuntu with the edimax plugged in (and connecting automatically to my WPA network) is enough to cause the shutdown problem.

Works: (TP-LINK)
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2070 Wireless Adapter

Doesn't Work: (EDIMAX)
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter
