I have probably the same driver sent to me by email from Realtek.
It works most of the time, but from time to time I get the same error after the reboot:

It is solved by rebooting the system.

I think this might be caused by some part (either the driver or ubuntu) trying to unsuccessfully update the driver and on the next reboot the old version is used. Is that right? The notebook is Samsung N150, Ubuntu Lucid, kernel 2.6.32-34.
