I removed Network Manager with the Synaptic Package Manager (the network-manager and network-manager-gnome packages) and added my wireless startup information to /etc/rc.local like this:
ifconfig eth1 down dhclient -r eth1 ifconfig eth1 up iwconfig eth1 essid "MY ESSID" iwconfig eth1 mode Managed dhclient eth1 sleep 5 mount -a -t cifs Everything now works perfectly as far as I have been able to tell. No delay in shutting down and the Suspend function seems to be working properly as well -- sorry I haven't tested Hibernate because I never really use that anyway. I mention the Suspend function because in the past with NM and cifs in the /etc/fstab file Suspend used to only work the first time, then every time after that the network would not reactivate and I had to reboot. Just in case anyone else is interested in that little tidbit of information. This seems to definitely be a Network Manager induced condition. I hope this helps. --Gary -- CIFS/SMBFS shares not unmounted before network is shut down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
