  the NetworkManager was asking me for authorisation every few minutes, suggesting that it was losing the connection or something similar.
As discussed on this forum here
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=276121

finally installed wicd and erased NetworkManager.Finally things fall back to step 1.
each time I reboot I can not access the wireless and this time lspci -vnn shows

Boot your machine and then run:

dmesg > dmesg.log

Attach dmesg.log to this bug report.

Your log files indicate that NetworkManager is running when you boot your system.  You cannot use wicd and NetworkManager at the same time, they both provide the same type of service.  Disable NetworkManager or remove it from your system, then explicitly enable the wicd service.

There was some thing wrong because I had disabled it by systemctl disable NetworkManager.service right now I just formatted my laptop.
