This issue is present since Ubuntu Jaunty. To fix it, we do need to report it upstream as it sounds lik the other GNU/Linux distributions are affected as well.

Until there is no fix released for this bug, rtl8180 kernel module should be blacklisted in Lucid. It is inconceivable to let computers with such hardware freezing at boot with any error message and any log. IMHO the worst thing is that this is impossible to run the Ubuntu Live CD at all, so it gives a very bad impression for the first time Linux user.
