Can you grab some logs from wherever your distro puts syslog 'daemon'
output?  That's
probably /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/NetworkManager.log,
or /var/log/syslog.

If it's taking ages to find the network, I suspect that the network
simply isn't found in a wifi scan.  What wifi hardware do you have and
what driver are you using?  If you can provide the output of "lspci" and
"lsusb" that would point us in the right direction.

Thanks!
