I'm running V5.3 (newly installed) on an FJ E8020 laptop. The problem I have is when shutting down (*not* rebooting). NetworkManager fails to stop and after (during?) the postfix shutdown, the system seems to hang. I cannot access via another screen or remotely. I can't find any clues in the log files. I could use some suggestions on troubleshooting.

Here are the active services:

What wireless/wired network drivers are you using ?
