Hi, Gundala.  In general, you do not need to cross-post to both
bioconductor and R lists.

These are not standard Ensembl names.  You could strip off the "_at"
and some of them would become Ensembl gene names (the ones that begin
with ENSG; the others look like affy control probes).  Then, you could
use biomart to get information about them.  See the biomart vignette
and help pages for assistance.
