[Bug 55182] Dapper: INTEL IPW 2200 B/G "unregister_netdevice: waiting for ethX to become free. Usage count = 1"

[UTKWes]

Public bug reported:

When shutting down, I receive the message:

unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = 1
...

As you should be able to tell, eth1 is my wireless network interface
using the Intel Pro Wireless 2200 B/G internal daughtercard.  This does
*not* occur if I have just configured my device, however, after using it
for any legitimate length of time, I will always receive this message
and it repeats infinitely until I manually power down the computer.

This did not occur with the shipped Dapper kernel, but has occurred with
each one after that.  Shutting down the interface (with "ifdown", etc.)
before restarting or shutting down the system makes no difference.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
