Suse 9.1 Shutdown

May 6, 2005 4:54PM PDT

I am having trouble shutting down my old notebook

Compaq M700
PII 400
196 meg ram
Wirless Lan PCMCIA (ndiswrapper w/XP driver)

It will shutdown fine if the LAN card is ejected prior to shutting down but if I leave it in the thing stalls at "Shutting down sound driver" and two LED's flashing constantly.
I then must remove the battery and power plug as no buttons or keys do anything. anybody got any pointers

Thanks in advance
Don Erickson

Just got the LAN card working with ndiswrapper
then this problem came up. The two seem to be related.
