Hi again...
Here's more information on my system. I'm really new to Linux
networking, so i'm not really sure what kind of information that is useful
or useless for you to solve this problem. Forgive me if information i give
here are useless...
Topology
--------
bridge (br01)
+--------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+
| 192.168.1.12 |----(eth1)| 192.168.1.100 |(eth0)-------| 192.168.1.30 |
+--------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+
I am only bridging 2 workstation as this is only an University student
experimental project.
Bridge (br01) Info
------------------
Kernel : 2.4.18 (with netfilter (firewalling) support for bridge enabled)
Patch : bridge-nf-0.0.6-against-2.4.18.diff
Netfilter : iptables-1.2.5.tar.bz2
(Everything related to netfilter is compiled into the kernel)
Bridge : bridge-utils-0.9.5.tar
Bridge Config
-------------
% brctl addbr br01
% brctl addif br01 eth0
% brctl addif br01 eth1
% ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
% ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0
% ifconfig br01 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Iptables
--------
% iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.12 -j QUEUE
% iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.30 -j QUEUE
Reboot Messages:
----------------
I straightaway get the error message when I try to reboot:
Unregister-netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = ????
Shutdown Messages:
------------------
Here’s what I think it’s related to my problem when I try to shutdown:
br01: port 2(eth1) entering disabled state
cardmgr[818]: shutting down socket 1
br01: port 2(eth1) entering disabled state
unregister-netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = ????
(sometimes, i also receive messages such as below)
shutting down interface eth0: eth0: promiscuous mode enabled.
shutting down interface eth1: br01: promiscuous mode enabled.
br01: port 2(eth1) entering disabled state
device eth1 left promiscuous mode
unregister-netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = ????
(actually, i don't know where can i get the shutdown log... any pointer on
this?)
Here's my boot.log

Note:
-----
I need to state that, without using netfilter support i.e. only working
with the bridge (brctl), i didn't receive such message when i shutdown my
bridge. That is why i thought maybe my libipq program is leaking packets...
but i'm really no expert in these things.
Thank you.
