System has 2 ethernet cards. Eth0 is using dhcpcd to connect to an upstream server. Eth1 is has a fixed address and serves a small local 
network through IP Masquerade. After about 10 hours the system reports "kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free." When 
the system in in run level 5, cannot log out of X windows. In run level 3, cannot shutdown system. Ethernet
drivers are eth0 - 3c59x and eth1 via-rhine. Problem possibly related to renewal of IP license on eth0

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.System with two ethernet cards
2.Dhcpcd eth0 
3. Wait until renewal of IP address
	

Actual Results:  System stops being able to talk to the ethernet, system cannot be rebooted without a hard reset.

Expected Results:  System should have renewed IP license transparently? System should have remained stable

If desired, system is on Internet and can be accessed Please contact me to recieve logon credentials.

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-03-16 10:57:29 UTC

can you try doing a "rm /etc/cron.d/kmod" and then restart the cron service ?
let me know if that helps.

System has been up for for more than 50 hours with no problems. 
The suggested change seems to have fixed the problem.
