Actually, there is a compatibility package with the latest wireless
drivers:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
It's much easier to compile. No configuration is required. Just run
"make" and then "make install" (as root). Then use "modprobe rtl8180"
to load the driver. Ubuntu will probably load it automatically after
reboot. Linux 2.6.22 and newer is supported. No kernel patching is
needed. Just make sure to recompile the package when upgrading to the
next kernel.
Even if that doesn't work, it's possible to use ndiswrapper with the
Windows driver, so that you don't have to choose your OS because of
issues with just one driver.
