From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041228 Firefox/1.0 Fedora/1.0-8 Description of problem: I am running rawhide, kernel 2.6.10-1.1126_FC4 and also NetworkManager-0.3.3-1.cvs20050202.3.1. When NetworkManager has made a connection, then when I try to stop iptables (process 1), it hangs on "modprobe -r ip_tables". If I stop NetworkManager (process 2), then the "process 1" continues and stops. I can start and stop iptables as long as NetworkManager is stopped, or has not yet made an active connection. When I start NetworkManager and make an active connection, I also can not start iptables. Only message I get when I try to modprob -r ip_tables by hand when NetworkManaager is working and active: FATAL: Module ip_tables is in use. The behavior that is expected (start/stop iptables with active NetworkManager connection) works for kernel 2.6.10-1.1115_FC4 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have NetworkManager started and have an avtive connection 2. execute service iptables stop 3. wait forever Actual Results: system is hung waiting to terminate iptables. Expected Results: iptables should be terminated. Additional info: I can not really tell if this is a NetworkManager bug, but since it works with other kernel revs, I think it is kernel related.
