This is a known bug. I don't know the bug number off the top of my head. It is a race condition between the usb ethernet and the wireless renaming udev rules. To fix this unplug wired ethernet, remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot the computer. Wait for the computer to come up and then plug in the usb ethernet adapter. This will allow the persistent rules file to set wireless as eth0 and usb ethernet as eth1 and susbsequent reboots want cause the race condition where usb ethernet grabs eth0 and then udev hangs trying to rename wlan0 to eth0 which is taken. > > Further, with the ethernet-USB adapter plugged in, shutdown usually takes > about a minute (while displaying the U/L warnings screen).

NetworkManager will bring up both interfaces if they are available. Are you sure that NM isn't connecting to wireless in a bad environment and causing the network to hang because it is going out the wifi connection instead of the usb ethernet? Please open a ticket for this and we can get some NM logs to see what is happening. -Jon _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
