Well, not sure, but  I think it is worth trying.

Thanks.

Hi Yoshi,  

I just thought I would let you know that I applied the patch to the  2.6.10 
kernel and recompiled. It seems to have made the Oops go away. At least,  I 
can't make the Oops happen any more by unplugging the Ethernet cables during  
operation and then shutting down. 

I might add that when I tried to apply  the patch with:

patch --dry-run -p1 -d dir < patchfile

I got all kinds of errors about this line or that line. I can't remember  
what they were. In the end, I VERY CAREFULLY cut and pasted your patch, and  
removed the lines the patch was supposed to remove. 

Did you attempt to  apply the patch? Anyway, looks good. 
 
Regards, 
Andy Liebman
