Just upgraded from OpenSuse 11.1 to 11.2 and it looks like a kernel bug has been re-introduced. The system hangs on shutdown while trying to stop eth0. Executing “ifconfig eth0 down” will also hang the entire system. The NIC is a Broadcom BCM4401 using the b44 module. This did not happen with 11.1 (or 11.0, or other releases).
Well, maybe thats a thing for Bugzilla, if its not reported yet.
I’m facing the same problems:
