There sadly isn't enough information provided to debug this issue. All I see is this: Oct 18 21:36:40 Aspire-5253 NetworkManager[791]: <warn> Activation (wlan0/wireless): association took too long.
Which is a nice hint to an issue in wpasupplicant, or more likely, in the kernel driver, but it would be nice to know more to be sure. On 12.10, please run "sudo python /usr/lib/NetworkManager/debug- helper.py --wpa debug", then disconnect and try to reconnect. Once the connection is successful, attach /var/log/syslog to this bug report. What the above command will do is tell wpasupplicant to log debug information to syslog. This change won't last a reboot, so you'll need to do it again if you reboot. To have the change permanent, edit /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service and add "-d" just before the "-B" on the Exec line. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Also affects: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066138 Title: Beta 2 regression network-manager many tries to get wireless WPA connected Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “wpasupplicant” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Precise no problem with Acer Aspire 5253 wireless WPA.
