Regarding the affected hardware: again, I have a

usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=0846, idProduct=4260
usb 1-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-9: Product: NETGEAR WG111v3
usb 1-9: Manufacturer: Manufacturer_NETGEAR
usb 1-9: SerialNumber: 001E2AC1E6C1
usb 1-9: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

which is a realtek RTL8187B according to lsusb.

The latest kernel which works for me is

2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i686.PAE

With every other kernel since then, I cannot establish a connection, no matter what I do. By using any newer kernel even the 'trick' with pluging the USB-device out and back in does not work for me.
