e1000e module - fail reboot/shutdown with loaded laptop-mode, any fix?

It's been some time ago when I faced this problem. Using laptop-mode in DAEMONS + e1000e kernel module => system wont reboot/shutdown... There was this problem many times on formus, one here.

I was fixing this problem with blacklisting e1000e in my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf. This fixed reboot/shutdown problem but ofc disabled eth0, so I was using only wlan. Now, from time to time I need to use eth0 but it's annoying to always enable/disable e1000e...

Is there any workaround or something what will fix this?

Had same problem.
Simple quick solution is to unload the module at shutdown/reboot by adding the following command in /etc/rc.local.shutdown:

modprobe -r e1000e

Just to reinforce pzdmrd's answer I use

lsmod | grep -q e1000e && rmmod e1000e

On the same note, if you enabled runtime-pm on laptop-mode and your system hangs on shutdown, the culprit is ehci_hcd module so the workaround is, in the same fashion, to add

rmmod ehci_hcd
