I've shifted to OpenSUSE and with OpenSUSE my wireless connection works fine, with or without wall power. Maybe this could help you to understand the reasons of the malfunctioning, by confronting the acpi settings in Ubuntu and those used in OpenSUSE. Please, work on it if you can, because OpenSUSE is good, but Ubuntu is better :)
