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.
