In /etc/modprobe.d/50- I have only modules for ipw2200 and iwl3495 - neither of which is going to work with a 6200 card. Zypper tells me that I have iwl6000-ucode and I've just installed iwl6050- ucode to cover all bases. What do I need to do with them now? It's years since I had to manually insert modules, and I simply can't remember how!
The ucode should get loaded automatically (and your earlier supplied logs suggest that that happens). My iwlagn adapter (also in an i5-based laptop) sometimes stops letting packages through. The following (admittedly a bit brutal) method makes it work again in those cases: # modprobe -r iwlagn && sleep 1 && modprobe iwlagn That essentiall reloads the kernel module. Networkmanager picks that up automatically and reconnects after a few seconds. I, too, wish the times of modprobe were over.
