It works. Thank you very much.

Just of curiosity, why is the NIC still active when the system shuts
down? I mean is the ``IFF_DRV_RUNNING'' _the_ method to stop an

I though in a simple setup one would disable the devices when
shutting down by disabling interrupts or raising the interrupt
priority level.
