I also have Gigabyte motherboard. It is more safer and reliable is update BIOS via Q-Flash from USB flash drive.

It is not much but i will give you tutorial by me.
http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-h61m-d2(s2v)-b3_e.pdf
download BIOS F8 version, don't download F9A, http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3773#bios
Once downloading is done, you will notice that it is self-extracting archive. Extracting it to your USB flash drive (any letter of drive):/
Keep your USB flash drive connection, restart your computer. If you see POST then press Delete. You should be able to see Q-Flash on setting BIOS, press F8. Then search it on your USB flash for BIOS file. Once started update BIOS, don't touch it! If update BIOS is done, you can restarting your computer for safe.
In case if you're confess here is youtube video that might help you understand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDMiaQVdFj8
If you have any question please ask me.

well... The model number you given isn't right. so i take my guess. Check the model number again.
There is nothing listed in the bios updates that refer to the problem your having. Doubt that will fix it. But if you want to anyway. On a Gigabyte the @bios windows program works really well, used it many/many/many times with never a problem. Dont use the online update. Download and save the update, when you run the program pick update from file.

I get it. You miss "M" It should be GA-H61M-S2P-B3, not GA-H61-S2P-B3.
Download F4 version. Don't download F5A, that is beta and it might not be stable.
Some people i know, have buggy BIOS. Blue screen issued due to data feedback between hard drive and motheboard, PCI card sometime don't work right way, and USB issued. That is why i recommended OP to updating the BIOS.
For EX: Who is the boss for all part on motherboard? BIOS. BIOS control chipset, chipset control PCI, PCI Express X1, USB, SATA, and etc. We can't overclock, transfer data, connection internet and play video game without have BIOS control the chipset.

Well I updated my BIOS with success but problem still is there. I think that the problem is that I dont think there is enough time for the PCI to power the device which doesn't let the BIOS recognize it in time.
Anyway to delay BIOS or put more power into it faster, or is it just time for a new wireless card?
Or can I RMA the board, could it possibly be faulty?

It can be bad wireless card problem most likely. I have D-Link PCI express which is work great. It cost 45 dollar for good wireless card.
