One amendment:

The hidden SSID is not working yet, but I get connected when broadcasting so far.

Additionally, I had to place the following line (removing any other entries for rtl8180 drivers) in modules.dep:

/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/wireless/r8180.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/wireless/ieee80211-rtl.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/wireless/ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/wireless/ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/wireless/ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/wireless/ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko

Where /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/wireless/ is the patch where I copied the built drivers.

Then they load on starting up the wlan0, so thanks to the config in /etc/network/interfaces if I understand it correctly. So they load when the wireless interface starts.
