[Bug 211631] Re: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown)

[James]

"NM 0.8 does not bring down ethernet connections on exit anymore. I
don't think we will be able to something similar for wifi soon. Is that
good enough for this bug?"

No. I have a use case of wanting to pack up my laptop up quickly after
using wireless at a client's office where I have to mount a remote
Windows filesystem using Samba. Having your laptop not suspend or
shutdown (or do it such a bad way it's not funny) isn't very good for my
system or for desktop linux (picture a Windows using client interested
in desktop linux and watching a laptop doing this shutdown dance).

What's the reason for not being able to keep wireless up until after
network filesystems are unmounted ?
