I went and downloaded the source for what I think is the most recent
Fedora 8 kernel:

kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8.src.rpm

It contains a big linux-2.6-wirless.patch and a smaller linux-2.6
-wireless-pending.patch.   They include the mac80211 rtl8180 driver and
lots of other stuff.  So it is at least possible to backport this stuff
to 2.6.24.  There are patches in there for the mac80211 subsystem too:
I'm not sure how independent the rtl8180 stuff is.  OTOH, what is
Ubuntu's plan for ath5k?  It might be worth it if you want ath5k din
2.6.24.

Maybe you should just contact John Linville <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and
ask him if it is reasonable to try to put together patches for rtl8180
for 2.6.24.
