["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

jerrylamos, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update
is available for your BIOS (3.16). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , 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

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Quantal A2 failed to automatically connect Centrino Wireless N

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Wireless WPA was working this morning with varying delays from 30
  seconds to a couple minutes when I connected manually with systems
  settings network.

  This evening booting cold after 12 minutes still no automatic connect.
  (After 10 minuties I had booted Acer Aspire 5253 with Broadcom,
  Quantal A2, connected automatically right away proving network O.K.)

  At 12 minutes or so, did ubuntu-bug network-manager.  When it asked to
  send report, I selected systems settings network.  Sluggish response,
  for example 28 seconds to connect even after it found the network
  name.

  Finally up and running, hardly what I'd call connect automatically.
  Kernel 3.5.0-2 must be having a problem with Centrino wireless N that
  it does not have with Boradcom.

  Is there any way to trace what 3.5.0-2 is doing after cold boot that
  it does not connect automatically?

  Bug #1015096 is related, that was with kernel 3.5.0-1 when it was very
  difficult to get connected at all.

  Thanks, Jerry
