Perhaps this will help:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/196285
  http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/12-r8180-hardy
http://www.willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/10-wpa-r8180-ubuntu
and Tim Gardners module:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/176507

I'd recommend jumping on 196285 and/or 176507; the more folks that add
info to the bug report will assist in getting a working driver in Hardy.
