Sorry for the late answer, I was on holiday.
removing the madwifi and updateing to the latest version of the 
restricted modules worked.

When I installed it the WLAN had some very hidden issues. I could 
connect to a network and once I had connected, the networkmanager saved 
the profile and everything was fine.
But when I entered the wrong values into the network manager, e.g. AES 
instead of tkip, the card failed to do anything, anymore. e.g. iwlist 
scan wouldn't work anymore, connecting to newtowrks wouldn't work 
anymore. Even after a restart, it was sometimes impossible to connect 
again. I disabled some things in the BIOS (like Don't put my pci devices 
to sleep) and now it works.

I really have a lot more trouble with other tasks like hibernate, 
flickering flash with fullscreen movies, long boot time, etc.
But I will fix that peu a peu.

Thanks for your help, I really have some more trust now in the 
autoupdate function, since I realize, that it probally was a conflict 
caused by me installing the madwifi.

by the way here is a comic, which pretty much accounts for me, too 
(approximately week six now) (Don' forget to hove your mouse pointer 
over it, to see the 'hidden' extra)

Thanks you,
Sebastian
