Well, for starters this card (or RTL8185L to be precise) has been reported to work both with 2.4.xx and 2.6.xx kernels including the default Ubuntu 5.10 kernel. There's a number of 'flavors' of this card with various radios (Rtl8225, Phillips, GCT, Maxim) and it is possible (an probable in this case) that we're the 'lucky' owners of the wrong one (wrong meaning not working with those drivers). Ok, there's a possibility that there's a kernel bug that haven't been spotted anywere from 2.4.** kernels or it could be that's something wrong with alpha-stage wireless card drivers. If I was to bet I'd go with the second option. Ok, what I said was to definitive: It could be a kernel bug, IMHO it's just not very likely.
