I have the same driver and hardware and I've also had trouble with shutdown. As a workaround for me, running "sudo service network-manager stop" before shutdown makes it possible.
Not sure if the fix proposed here (and http://www.rvdavid.net/how-to- get-gigabit-speeds-from-rtl81118168b-pci-express-gigabit-ethernet- controller-on-ubuntu-linux/) is appropriate because I have kernel 3.0 on my updated 11.10. I guess I cannot use the driver available from Realtek for kernel 2.4, 2.6 on 3.0 right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779040 Title: System hangs (solid) early during shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/779040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
