I put in a known functional network card, same RTL chip. Now everything works. I need only log in once rather than twice. But shut-down still hangs at "Umounting file system", I wonder whether this has anything to do with disabling the hda on the ASUS motherboard because I use SCSI ? Nothing that happened this morning makes much sense to me. First, the dead nic did not complain. The last time a nic died on me, it flooded dmesg. Second, what has a nic got to do with logging in twice (or once) on Gnome ? Although the problem is resolved, I remain dissatisfied because I do not see the connections between the symptoms and the dead nic and the only reason I changed the nic is because I cannot reach it. errare humanum est - and I am very human ! domini absolvi - just not me !
