Comment 6 for bug 368679

I use rtl8180. Ubuntu 9.04. and and ubuntu 9.10

If i try to connect to a Wep netwrok i get a freeze and have to hard power cycle the machine to get it back. Nothing is written to /var/log/messages

I can live with this since i dont really use wep anywhere important.

Main issue is that the when connected to wpa and wpa2 networks my connection drops out at random. Usually when i most need it. I am currently unable to download more than 2MB of data.

Everything appears to still be connected but the traffic just stops. I have to stop the networking via Gnome network manager and start it again, where it will work straight away until the next time it craps out.

It is unusable in this state.

I've rebuilt this system a few times and have the same issue each time.

Card works fine in windows so not a hardware fault.
