I just got a Dell Vostro 1014
 with ubuntu, but I cannot connect with 
wireless network. The network manager detects all networks, but fails to
 connect, even if wireless is made unsecured. I tried all possible 
options with Network Manager and manual wlconfig steps from ubuntu 
forums. The logs show similar errors " Authentication time out". 

I
 have posted all the detailed information, logs etc at following post. 
Will really appreciate if someone can confirm if its a bug or some other
 options to try. I have exhausted all options I knew.

Please




 let me know if you need any more information

Thank you and 
Regards,
Sohel

Adding some more information if that helps to 
diagnose the issue:

Attached are the outputs of lshw before and after blacklisting ath_pci



It seems the driver I am using is ath9k



BTW I also tried removing the security from wireless, changed the wlan0 
config, but still the error remains same "authentication timeout" I 
wonder why is it authenticating still? 



Does anyone know how to increase the timeout if that may help
