from the WPS information element:

	 * Version: 1.0
	 * Manufacturer: D-Link Systems
	 * Model: DIR-615
	 * Device name: Wireless N Router
	 * Config methods: Label

I bought it over a year ago in Canada. It is actually my second of these
since I fried the first one :)

I don't have the timing details since my Fedora for some reason doesn't
log them to the filesystem. I have to fix that.

Also re-producing this is not as simple as you think. I have no idea
when this happens. There is no way to actually trigger it from my side.
