My machine annoyingly hangs while rebooting. I tracked it down
to e100-fix-reboot-f-with-netconsole-enabled.patch in 2.6.18-rc2-mm2

I review the changes and it seemed to be calling netif_poll_disable
one too many time. Once in e100_down(), and again in e100_shutdown().

The second one in e100_shutdown() caused the hang. So this patch
removes it.

this won't help netconsole shutdown/reboot -f, probably locking it up again!

NAK

Also missing is the NAPI conditional, which I left out. Also missing is the same code for suspend.

Here's a better approach, allowing both normal shutdown code path and reboot -f to disable polling.

Cheers,
