I have problems with my wireless card in the thinkpad x201. Everything is working fine - wireless connects and i can hit up websites. But after sleep/some time or changing the wireless AP form one to another something breaks.

lspci -vvv:

02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 2x2 AGN

Region 0: Memory at f2400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi

dmesg short: 

[ 1501.376720] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Failed to load firmware chunk!

ifconfig:

wlp2s0    Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:27:10:5f:d0:38

      Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 
      RX-Bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX-Bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Whole dmesg log can be found here: pastebin.com dmesg

The only fix so far is a reboot of the whole system. I used a few distros over the last month like gentoo,arch,debian and it happens on all of the distros. It never happend on the Windows 7 system that is installed too.

I hope someone can help me with this.

I had nightmares with Intel wifi until I ran across this. Perhaps it helps. Had to turn off power-management

Reference: How can I prevent iwconfig power management from being turned on?

Create /etc/network/if-up.d/wifi-powerman-off (chmod +x)

#!/bin/sh
# Reference: https://askubuntu.com/questions/85214/how-can-i-prevent-iwconfig-power-management-from-being-turned-on
IWCONFIG=/sbin/iwconfig
WLAN_IFACE=<<interface name>>
if [ ! -x $IWCONFIG ]; then
    exit 1
fi
if [ "$IFACE" = $WLAN_IFACE ]; then
    $IWCONFIG $IFACE power off
fi
