Okay, that helps explain why the rc.0 one alone did nothing for me -- I'm usually rebooting! ;-/

So the workaround is to do both --
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/NetworkManager /etc/rc0.d/K40NetworkManager
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/NetworkManager /etc/rc6.d/K40NetworkManager

Great job! That's a temporary work-around, and work-arounds are very good -- but when a request to test a patch or a fix comes out, you'll want to
 return to the previous state and delete those symlinks so you can cleanly test.

sudo rm /etc/rc0.d/K40NetworkManager
sudo rm /etc/rc6.d/K40NetworkManager

For those who'd rather not edit, another work-around is to disconnect network cables, disable networking in nm-applet, or hit the Wi-Fi kill switc
h either before or during shutdown. If done before choosing shut-down or reboot, the hang is avoided. If done during the hang, then the remaining shutdown ha
ng at the alsa step is shortened from over 2 minutes to under 15 seconds.

@Daniel T. Chen -- are you still asking for help or information on this?
