I just upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and I can confirm that the WiFi hardware is recognized and working.
I did have to do a "sudo modprobe rtl8180" before it was recognized. As has been reported elsewhere (http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/12-r8180-hardy) and (http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/15-rtl8180-hardy), the network strength indicator shows much lower status then what it is probably getting. In a few cursory bandwidth tests it is pegging out as high as my DSL + home router combo should be delivering. On an aside, the screen used to get all garbled anytime the screen would go to screensaver or display would power off and I'd have to restart gdm. That doesn't look to be happening anymore - Ubuntu FTW! Kudos to the team and their efforts. -Brian On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 7:04 AM, Brett Alton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I can also confirm that using the fix found here: > http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/12-r8180-hardy > using http://www.willdaniels.co.uk/attachments/rtl8185.zip, works > perfectly. > > Would you like me to post my dmesg and lspci for 8.04.1 and 8.10 LiveCD, > including before and afters with the patch for 8.04.1? > > -- > [Regression] Realtek RTL-8185 Wifi not recognized in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 5 > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196285 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in "linux" source package in Ubuntu: Triaged > > Bug description: > First, I'd like to note there is a forum post related to this problem as > well http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4417010#post4417010 > > Scenario: > 1.
