My rtl8180 (uses same driver as 8185) has a very similar issue to this, so I'm going to assume for now it's the same issue. I can connect and use wireless networks fine, for the most part, but ever so often my machine locks up. I can reproduce a lockup every time by saving a doc file over the network (samba) with Open Office. Also, if I stop a bittorrent download, the machine will lockup. I also get a lot of locks, randomly, when I use one particular wireless network. The only difference between this network and my other one is that the SSID is hidden and it uses no encryption, instead it has a login page. This is not just a 2.6.17 issue, I was having the same problem with Dapper.
