My machine annoyingly hangs while rebooting. I tracked it down to

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.

it doesn't even do harm to netif_poll_disable() twice as far as I can
see, as it merely calls test_and_set_bit(), which will instantly
succeed on the first attempt if the bit was already set.
did this change actually fix it for you? I'm wondering if the
netif_carrier_off might not be the culprit here...
I can confirm the proposed original change of D. Walker fixed the
problem for me. I did not test the change you proposed as a followup.
his change breaks something else (a reboot with netconsole, possibly suspend). Please
give the latest version I sent a try. Daniel confirmed me that it works, but it's always
nice to hear it from more people.
Thanks
Auke
