Matt's 0017.0705.2010 driver compiles and runs with 2.6.35-rc4, and the panic is definitely gone on that kernel, too. This version should be added to Maverick as soon as possible. Also, I really think Canonical should put some pressure on Realtek to get this driver upstream. Everyone wins if we get a driver for this chipset in the mainline kernel.
