- None of the initiations of a warm boot (shutdown, Ctrl-Alt-Del) care to
- properly shutdown peripherals (I guess this would require a device "detach"
- hook), so your ethernet device continues to process packets arriving on the
- wire. Since the device driver is gone, interrupts are not serviced and it is
- not unthinkable that the device locks up if such a situation exists for too
- long a time. Also, the WE driver doesn't flip the reset bit in the card at
- probe time, so it judges the adapter unuseable.
