You're probably using a Realtek 8139-based card, right? Media selection
was moved to a kernel thread lately. Now, init kills all processes before
the network devices are closed, so on close the driver screams that its
thread's no longer there. Arguably the kernel thread ought to block
signals and use some other means of communication internally. Anyway, as a
user you can safely disregard this message (unless you want to switch
network cabling during shutdown that is ;-).
