> Note that there is a bug somewhere that makes the netcard

freeze the whole system when shutting down eth0. According to
|
|
Martin Espenschied, this is a known issue, and can be
|
|
fixed. When I know how, I'll put the information here. Till
|
|
then, remember to <EM
|
|
>sync</EM
|
|
> your system before
|
|
shutting down, and you should not miss any
|
|
information. Remember my disclaimer in <A

|
> An ugly hack to resolve this might just be to
|
|
<EM
|
|
>NOT</EM
|
|
> to shut down eth0 at
|
|
shutdown/reboot. This can be done by editing the file
|
|
/etc/init.d/network (or similar), and in the stop) case, just
|
|
comment away the ifdown command, and add a phoney command,
|
|
like this: <TABLE

> Note that this is a

<EM

|
solve the problem, it just hides it. The network won't go
|
|
properly down until you reboot the machine. I really hope that
|
|
somebody have a better fix on this later. Thanks to Doc
|
|
Shipley for this tip.
