Things got worse with Karmic. I was able to get this card working in Jaunty by downloading and compiling the driver from http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1PNid=24PFid=1Level=6Conn=5DownTypeID=3GetDown=falseDownloads=true but, after upgrading to Karmic, also compilation

Eventually got around to trying out 9.10 Beta live CD - the problem is still here: lockup just before showing the login manager However I did get an error message early on in the boot process, before the bootsplash logo which said this: [0.167144] pci :01:0b.0: BAR 6: address space

From these last few comments, it appears to be a hardware problem. Try 9.10 as below and if it occurs, try disabliing devs per #21. If it works, note the IRQ etc. and let us know. Can you confirm this issue exists with the most recent Karmic Koala 9.10 Beta release? ISO CD images are available

I have just now downloaded the 9.10 beta and am currently burning it. I will try it out very soon But is this really a true hardware issue? What is the definition of such? As I said before, the computer which locks up under Kubuntu runs fine with Windows XP. I would have thought that a proper

That might definately be possible, the PC is an old Dell optiplex gx270 which only has 1 pci slot, I did disable the com and lpt ports in order to be sure enough IRQs where available. My neighbour is running 9.04 with exactly the same car (same card/chipset/etc) and for him it worked out of the

I can confirm this bug in 9.10 , apperently it is only with certain revisions/brands using this chip as I've seen people succesfully using this card in 9.10, with the modules disabled (actually renamed) the machine boots correctly with card plugged in. I'll drop an lspci after getting the

I think there is more to this than just the WiFi card itself, possibly. I put the card in another PC (Socket 939 AMD with nForce 4 SLI chipset) and with Kubuntu 9.04 it worked perfectly. Strangely enough, I still got the Unknown hardware address type 801 error but the card DOES WORK. Perhaps

I was able to get to a GUI with these steps: 1) Restart computer with Live CD in tray (I used Jaunty) 2) At the boot menu choose boot options, press escape to get rid of the menu, replace 'quiet splash' with 'single' 3) At the recovery menu choose 'root' 4) Unload the faulty rtl8180 driver with

I've had this problem ever since Intrepid came out. I tried reporting the bug then but nobody ever looked at it. I have no problems using NDISwrapper but when the system locks up because of a bad driver I can't do that. Would it be possible to blacklist the RTL818x driver? If you'd like, I can

Agreed, orbiting KDE cursors are a bit useless here. I have had to resort to my Nikon DSLR and just shoot frames until I finally got one that made sense. The fact that you got to X and the KDE logo is a good sign, of sorts. Try adding single to the boot command line, leaving the delete of

Sorry about not beiing clear in the apport command line. The bug 3 should have been 395403. The info you sent didn't show the device. Could you clarify, is this a pcmcia hotplug or a pci slot card? If it is the former, what happens when you plug it in after the machine is up? Try editing the

No worries about the apport confusion. I figured it out pretty quickly. It's a PCI slot card (not hot swappable) and due to the lockup I can't post debug info with it attached. But I will try what you say to show the console messages and take a photo. I'll upload it shortly. -- Realtek

Unfortunately the console text disappears before the lockup occurs. The computer freezes with the KDE4 hourglass frozen in the middle of a black screen. Please advise on how to proceed from here. ** Attachment added: IMG_3416.PNG http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28900535/IMG_3416.PNG --
