What i did: - At home, i was in the local LAN via interface "cable" (e1000) or "air" (ipw2200) - While in the LAN, i dialled into the 3G network via a option data card (pppd), default route pointed to the dialup - started VPN (rasconnect.pl) - moved from home to office, ppp connection still alive, WLAN probably disconnected - plugged machine into the office LAN - called "scpm switch", to switch the networking setup for the office - scpm switch restarts networking - this includes stopping smpppd, which did not stop the active pppd. (no smpppd enabled in the office profile) - i noticed pppd was still active, so i simply pulled the card out while the scpm switch was running (i thought that the default route pointing to dialup would be a problem, so i wanted to get rid of it). Now i got the infamous "kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for modemX to become free. Usage count = 1" message and all i could do was reboot. Everything that was trying to access /proc/net/ was apparently hanging, also "ifconfig" and "ip". I did a sysrq-T trace which i will attach. This is with 10.3RC2 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
