Today, I tried to upgrade my Compaq Presario 1245 with PCMCIA wireless card (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/CompaqPresario1245 )

During the upgrade, the card service would not stop, allowing upgrade, due to
this bug.

The worst thing is that there's no way to stop this without rebooting the
computer. All the related processes are not responding, even to kill -9.
If you try an "ifconfig", it will wait forever without any chance to kill the
ifconfig process.

I think this bug might be really bad for people upgrading their laptop...
