[Kevin Verma]

I did not noticed the same behaviour of new kernel and thought it was
install of "beagle" which made my machine ot crawl and decided not to
use beagle, but I did noticed that kernel hanged wihile unloading
iptables module and even prevented my machine to shutdown because of
the same.
