@Martin
I have not investigated the issue any deeper, but my WLAN card of my
Aspire One netbook did not work with a vanilla Intrepid installation.
(Don't have the card make/model handy right now, but I can look it up
later if desired.) So I followed the instructions at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne

Wireless module
There has been some confusion as to which wireless driver provides the
best performance and reliability. I have found the following:
o madwifi from kernel (ath_pci) - does not attach to hardware.
o ath5k from intrepid backports (ath5k) - connects to hardware, but
experiences disconnects on medium to heavy wireless activity, and can not
communicate with some AP's using WPA2 PSK.
o madwifi-hal from http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/ (ath_pci) -
Everything works.

The newest madwifi did indeed work for me.
@Stefan
I did not check the logs whether there was anything interesting. The
first thing I noticed after upgrading was that ath_pci had be commented
in /etc/modules. So I uncommented it again and rebooted. When WLAN still
didn't work, I just recompiled and reinstalled. After that WLAN worked
again. If this is important (or you are just interested to understand
what is going on) and 14.30 is still available I could try to reproduce
the issue and check the logs. I don't think gcc version has changed
since I installed 14.30 and compiled madwifi the first time.
