Runtime power management is enabled in the kernel with the CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME parameter. According to the link, the issue is already fixed in a more recent kernel. AFAICR, it was not fixed in the driver, it was fixed elsewhere in the kernel. > -Original Message- > From: Roger Cruz [mailt

It probably does. How do I determine where this is configured in my kernel? I found this link and if I set the power management from auto to on as mentioned there, I am able to shutdown correctly. What is the proper way to fix this then? https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36132#c9 _

Sounds to me like a possible issue with runtime power management. Is that feature enabled in your kernel and for the LAN interface? > -Original Message- > From: Roger Cruz [mailto:roger.c...@citrix.com] > Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2012 11:51 AM > To: e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

[E1000-devel] e1000e driver prevents Toshiba Z930 from shutting down when LAN cable is unplugged

2012-11-29 Thread Roger Cruz
I have determined that if the LAN cable is removed prior to a shutdown of a Toshiba Portege Z930, the system will hang. With the cable plugged in, the system shuts down fine. If I unload the e1000e ethernet driver prior to the shutdown request, the platform will shut down successfully. I am
