Ok so i have had it running for a while now and it seems to be a fix to all the freezing and hard locks. (Finally!) I have had azureus running for about 5 hours now with my upload and download speeds above 100kB/s. I have never been able to have my upload speed over 20kB/s otherwise ubuntu was guaranteed to freeze. I believe this new driver to be a fix.
The only problem i am having is to install the driver permanently. I followed the guide @ http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installing I started by Removing mainline ieee80211 Stack then installing the driver and finally permanently installing the driver. i did a "sudo depmod -ae" to have the driver start at boot. When i restarted the internet worked fine except i WAS NOT able to upload more than 20kB/s. I would continue to get hard locks when the new driver was permanently installed into the kernel. I am pretty sure i installed the driver right, unless someone else has other instructions for installing it permanently. When i simply insmod the new drivers into the kernel with the old drivers permenantly insalled then my problems are fixed. The only problem with this solution is that after every reboot i will have to insmod the new drivers back into the kernel. Like i said, i may not have permanently installed the drivers correctly and maybe the kernel was reverting back to the old driver and that is why i was getting the hard locks. I am not sure. But if someone could guide me through permanently installing the drivers that would be helpful. (ps. I leave for florida on tue evening, so i will not be around for a week.)
