Hi Wolfgang (sorry for the late answer - launchpad didn't notify me by
mail that you had responded)

I downloaded and compiled compat-wireless-2011-08-08.tar.bz2 - with these 
drivers wireless now works with powersaving enabled -but still has some hiccups:
I'm testing if it works  by playing a radiostream in Clementine:
- without the compat drivers and powersaving enabled the stream wouldn't even 
start
- with compat drivers and powersaving enabled the stream starts, pauses, and 
starts correctly after some seconds (it also takes much longer for Clementine 
to advance to the next entry in the playlist if I select a no longer existing 
stream)
- with/-out compat drivers and powersaving disabled the streams start 
instantaneously (without a pause)

But at least the netbook is usable with powersaving functions enabled

I also tried the last mainline kernel for natty (2.6.38.8) without the
compat drivers - but that made no difference to the ubuntu kernel

BTW: do I understand it right, that I have to recompile/install the
compat drivers every time after a kernel update?
