Plug in wireless adapter - GNOME keyring prompt appears, wireless network then connects 3. Once connected, attemp to shutdown system Actual results: NetworkManager fails to terminate Expected results: NetworkManager should terminate on shutdown Additional info:
Any chance you can grab some logs from this, or switch to the VT on which shutdown messages are displayed? Also, does this still happen with RHEL 5.4 kernel updates?
I'll have a look at the shutdown messages when I shutdown later tonight. Funny that you mention the 5.4 kernels though - I've not had this issue since my laptop was updated to 5.4. Will come back with more info.
It's likely this is fixed in RHEL6; as we don't have the requested info, closing. Thanks!
