Description:
Shutting down the computer does not poweroff and instead reboots. All forms of shutdown have this problem, besides manually holding the computer's power button.

Removing daemons (netcfg or networkmanager have been tested) that are related to wireless network will fix the problem. The "network" daemon does not cause this.

(others may have same problem but different cause)

Additional info:
Kernel 3.0

netcfg 2.6.7-1
dhcpcd 5.2.12-1 (base)
wpa_supplicant 0.7.3-3 (base)
(Packages were recent at time of posting)

Wireless driver: rtl2860sta - ASUS PCE-n13 wireless card

In that case, use an initscripts hook to remove conflicting loaded module before shutdown to workaround.

cat << FIN > /etc/rc.d/functions.d/workaround_blah
workaround_blah() {
modprobe -r broken_module_here
}

add_hook shutdown_poweroff workaround_blah
FIN

@djgera
What is the conflicting module? How would I find out?- very new to linux.

The module that is loaded for your wireless card should be. Use lsmod to see module name.
Ask in forums for better support ;)

Hi djgera,
I've tried your suggestion and it does not work for me. For my specific BIOS, disabling "Integrated NIC" fixes the problem (at the cost of no wired Internet). Others have the BIOS option "wakeup on LAN" or similar that they can disable to fix the problem. Running the latest kernel 3.0-ARCH. Would be happy to provide more information if someone can figure out the cause.

Alas, I am joining the club. Thought it was an issue with the latest initscripts update (initscripts 2012.02.1-1 to 2012.01.3-1) but rolling back does not work. Running the LTS kernel (3.0.21-lts at this time).

As suggested in some forum thread, I added the -P option to the shutdown command, but no dice: it stubbornly keeps rebooting instead of shutting down (# shutdown -hP now).

I have the same issue with shutdown/restart.

Edit: turning off acpid, laptop-mode and cpufreq daemons makes restarts to occur not so often...

Try disabling PM runtime e.g. powertop and laptop-mode tools can or do enable this. Disabling it worked here.
