Can confirm at least a similar problem, where shutting down the wifi interface (eth1) hangs. This prevents shutdown from completing, hanging forever on the splash screen. Can also duplicate simply by deactivating the wireless connectivity via right click on the network manager applet. This brings an instant hang to the network manager, system monitor and other applets, and prevents much of anything else from working. Not even possible to launch a terminal at that point.
All problems fixed by uninstalling Network Manager and using the gnome network configuration tools.
