Hi!
I bought a new Acer Aspire E1-571-3114G50Mnks laptop for my father a few
weeks ago and installed Ubuntu 13.04 on it. It seems I have a similar
problem. The wireless network is hidden.
Here are the last lines of the output of "lspci -v"...:

Is there a way to force Network Manager to wait more?
I'd like to avoid this message somehow: "association took too long, failing
activation". :)
By the way, I had a timeout/delay problem on my Dell machine as well when I
tried to connect to an OpenVPN network (connecting to other OpenVPN networks
worked like a charm) with Network Manager on Ubuntu 12.10 but I was able to
connect from my CentOS virtual machine with an older version of NM. But I think
it's a different story. :)

I have a Ralink RT61 PCI using native module rt61pci.
When I configured the interfaces archive, the connection was much
faster, it was just turning on the computer and was connected, I think
it's bug.
Thanks!
