This is what I did:
Download the opensource driver:

Extract the files to a folder (I used: rr174x-linux-src-v2.1).
Then do this in the terminal:

gave me this:
I guess this will also work for 8.04.
Wow, redownloaded source (just to make sure, it's same version 2.2 ), unpacked, checked readme (note the latest tested linux kernel is 2.6.25, I'm running 2.6.24-24-generic), than:
Code:
~$ cd /home/georg/Desktop/rr174x-linux-src-v2.2/product/rr1740pm/linux
~$ sudo make install
reboot and up and running full-speed again:
Code:
georg@server:~$ dmesg | grep rr174x
