This problem is caused by unplug wired LAN but not release its IP

I'm sorry, but I have to consider this argument as a joke.
Even if you were 'right', it is considered completely unacceptable that
unplugging a network cable warrants a system freeze, the failure to list the
processes and finally the need to hard reset a machine.
It comes as a surprise that you defend the freeze of a command ('ifconfig rum1
unplumb') by pointing to an earlier issued wrong parameter ('ifconfig rum1
drop').
If a command can't complete, because an earlier release of an address failed,
there is no reason in heaven or on earth for the subsequent command to legally
freeze. It must indicate this error and exit gracefully.
I am looking forward to pursue this thread/topic; but not on these arguments.
