Comment 12 for bug 368679

I have a Dell C600 with a D-Link Air DWL-650 that apparently uses the RTL8180L as found when issuing the "sudo lspci"
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20)
On a Fresh install of 9.10 the wireless card works great. When I update to the latest header "2.6.31-16" the card is not found. I have to add the driver via the "ndisgtk" which finds the card. But as soon as it connects to my wireless network everything freezes. The only way to get around it is to power down and pull the wireless pcmci card and connect via an RJ45 cable.
I have tried compiling a new kernal via multiple different posts, to no avail.
My work around is to reload from CD the 9.10 and not update to the latest kernal.
The kernal that works is the "linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic".
