i have a Realtek RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless Lan Controller (if i
knew the ubuntu equivalent of /etc/sysconfig/hwconf i'd give you better
detail). it's working, mostly, in hardy, but lifeless in intrepid.
i say mostly, in hardy, because it spuriously ceases to communicate,
whereupon if i do ifdown wlan0 and ifup wlan0 it gets going again. in
hardy i have:
linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-23-generic 2.6.24-23.30
linux-backports-modules-hardy 2.6.24.23.25
linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic 2.6.24.23.25
linux-generic 2.6.24.23.25
linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic 2.6.24-23.46
linux-image-generic2.6.24.23.25
in intrepid i've had no luck. with no luck on the vanilla kernel, i
then tried:
linux-backports-modules-intrepid_2.6.27.9.13_i386.deb
linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic_2.6.27.9.13_i386.deb
linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-9-generic_2.6.27-9.5_i386.deb
no luck again, so then tried:
add: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu hardy main
# apt-get update
# apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-11-generic
which gets:
linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic_2.6.27-11.23_i386.deb
linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-11-generic_2.6.27-11.12_i386.deb
still no luck, so tried:
delete: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu hardy main
add: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-proposed restricted main
multiverse universe
# apt-get update
# apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
which gets:
linux-backports-modules-intrepid_2.6.27.11.14_i386.deb
linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic_2.6.27.11.14_i386.deb
and still no luck, so i'm stumped.

my /etc/network/interfaces, which works fine in hardy, is:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
