Bucic, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is
available for your BIOS (3.23). If you update to this, does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  It takes a long time to detect my Wi-Fi network -- Intel PRO/Wireless
  5100 AGN iwlwifi

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Usually when I turn on my computer it takes very long time for the
  network manager to detect my home wifi. Sometimes over a minute. I
  think disabling/enabling wifi (using hardware switch on my lenovo
  thinkpad) expedites the process. Anyway, it used to take 2 seconds on
  11.10 for example.
