So this is the way to solve it with linux-phc Kernel:

First add ppa for linux-phc Kernel:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linux-phc/ppa

Update the Repositories:
sudo apt-get update

No install the headers an the kernel itself
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-phc
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-phc

Reboot your System with the phc-kernel (usualy the first entry in grub)
No you need to install the patched modules for your System

Download patched modules for AMD 
http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/download/file.php?id=83

or INTEL
http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/download/file.php?id=94

unpack them eg to your home directory Before we can install them  we need to do 
some bugfix. 
The utsrelease-header-file is missing on this kernel so we create it by hand
sudo nano 
/usr/src/linux-headers-your-version-generic-phc/include/linux/utsrelease.h 
where linux-header-your-version-generic-phc  has to be your installed version 
eg linux-headers-2.6.35-28-generic-phc
insert into this file:  #define UTS_RELEASE 2.6.35.28+drm33.5 (your version 
of course)
and no install the modules 
sudo make dmks_install
Reboot again and hopefully no more gain calibration timeout

I will give you some further information about this issue.
This bug seems to affect the powernow-k8 driver in the Ubuntu Versions from 
9.10 until 11.04
If I rember correctly Ubuntu 9.04 powernow-k8 was working.
This issue seems to have two main characteristics:

1) Most Atheros WLAN-Adapters stop working with gain calibration timeout at 
dmesg 
2) Frequency-Scaling on AMD-Processors stops working at battery-mode - Its 
stuck at the lowest frequency

This Bug is reproducable if one boots up with ac device plugged in and plugs 
off the ac-device.
- After a short time wlan adaptor stops working and dmesg gives gain 
calibration timeout messages. 
The other way round, boot up on battery , plug in ac-device the same bug 
occures.

There are some workarounds

1) The easiest thing is to power down the computer, remove the battery an power 
up again (Bug occures again from time to time)
2) Another Option is to disable powernow in Bios Settings. (No more WLAN-Bugs, 
but Frequency-Scaling is not working at battery and ac-mode)
3) Experimental: Some people have managed to get rid of this Bug by using the 
phc-k8 driver instead of powernow-k8
   There is a Ubuntu ppa for this driver att linux-phc.org The driver is mainly 
used for undervolting modifications. 
   Look at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18982
