Any thoughts? 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.
