ping when network down BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointerdereference at 000000000000001b

[Jeff Chua]

I don't know when this started happening as my network was always up.
Just down, I shutdown my network, and ping a known host and
encountered this BUG.

# ifconfig eth0 down
# ping knowngoodhost
