Here's my reading off the screen:

- /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop
- The network card's lights go off
- Above mentioned message starts and repeats every n seconds
- /etc/init.d/networking stop is being executed, but doesn't
seem to stop the message. Though, it takes longer than
previously
- The message appears last time just before APM powers my laptop
off...

This is with:
