After a long journey, found out that 11.04 just works out of the box (later releases also dont work properly with the wireless driver)
A second repair action (after my brother "accidently" upgraded his ubuntu) took again many hours, I finally decided to use the latest Mint (13 , "Maya") distribution, and figured out the wireless works after installing the restricted drivers (via the standard Ubuntu configuration menu), and manually blacklisting the following drivers:
My daughter's Lenovo Thinkpad E135 had the same louzy wireless driver, I managed to get that one working by just installing the bcmwl-kernel-source package.
