Problem Description: When Shutdown a Vlan using this command vconfig rem eth4.1001 The interface will be down (using ifconfig) However the following error will be prompt on the screen and the log leav= ing the shell to be not responding. Even if "ifconfig eth4.1001 down" is run before "vconfig rem" sill the pr= oblem will be there. The only way I tested on solve this problem is to shutdown the interface = totally. ifconfig eth4 down Then the vlan can be removed correctly. This problem don't happen on the following "special Condition" 1) On another motherboard (Gigabyte GA-81PE1000-G) same NIC on Fc3 1) On eth0=20 Steps to reproduce: 1. get a vlan supported NIC, emerge vconfig 2. ifconfig ethx 0.0.0.0 3. create a vlan using "vconfig add ethx nnnn" 4. ifconfig ethx.nnnn aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 5. remove the vlan using "vconfig rem ethx.nnnn" 6. Wait for the error like the below. * Motherboard and NIC seem to be a Problem in my case. unregister_netdevice: waiting for ethx.nnnn to become free. Usage count =3D= 6 I've also open a bug in Gentoo http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D87495 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
