Comment 9 for bug 12558

I have the same problem with self compiled atmel-wlandriver 3.4.1.0
(http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/news.html) and a PCMCIA wireless Siemens
PC-Card 11.
When shutting down my notebook (Toshiba Satellite 2410) a message similar to the
one reported (nregister_netdevice: waiting for atml0 ...) is shown and there is
no way of cleanly shutdown the computer (I have to force disk sync and reboot
with ctrl+alt+sysrq+...).

If I disable the wireless interface (ifdown atml0) before rebooting or shutting
down there are no problems.

I'm using Hoary
