I'm having the same problem, though mine says Stopping pcmcia: cardmgr[***]: executing: './network stop eth0' <hangs> Looked similar to the bug #52270, but that didn't help. OK if I use the old kernel to boot.
Same behavior here with Toshiba 550CDT and Xircom 10/100 Ethernet. Works normally with old kernel.
I am also experiencing this problem using a Sony PCG-F690K and a Xircom 10/100 ethernet/modem card that worked fine with the old kernel.
I didn't mention it but my system is a Sony PCG-F670 with a Xircom 10/100 Ethernet card. Looks like it's a problem specific to Xircom cards?
