So after some unsuccessful tries with AVR Dragon, I got my hands on
a AVR STK600 from my working place. With this I got it working.
As a reference, I used AVR32 Studio 2.7 beta (Eclipse based) under Windows
and updated the firmware of STK600. Then I connected the NGW100 via
JTAG to the STK600. 
Under Linux I used following, I couldn't choose NGW100 in the AVR32
Studio under Windows:
sudo ./avr32program -x avr32 -p stk600 erase -fcfi at 0
Connected to STK600 (rev D). Firmware version 0x020b.
     Unlocking flash:
================================================== 100.0%
       Erasing flash: done
sudo avr32program -x avr32 -p stk600 program -F bin -vfcfi at 0 u-boot.bin
Connected to STK600 (rev D). Firmware version 0x020b.
     Unlocking flash:
================================================== 100.0%
Programming 138784 bytes in 1 segment.
     Verifying flash:
================================================== 100.0%

And indeed my NGW100 boots up fine again:

Warning: Your board does not use generic board. Please read
doc/README.generic-board and take action. Boards not
upgraded by the late 2014 may break or be removed.

Do I need to take any action so that board support is not removed?

Thanks Andreas for some hints about avr32program via private mail.

best regards
