Bug#275059: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7: cannot unregister_ndetdevice, shutdown impossible...

[Roland Lezuo <roland.lezuo@chello.at>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7
Version: 2.6.8-3
Severity: important

im using pptp to dial in to my ISP, and when trying to stop pptp I get
the following message: unregister_netdevice: waitng for ppp0 to become
free. Usage count = 2; this message floods my dmesg, ifconfig ppp0 hangs
and reboot/halt hang with the same message and prevent a normal
shutdown.
kernel-image-2.6.7-k7 does not show this behaviour
