Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 power-on issue

Wondering if anyone is using this WiFi chip successfully on 12.1-RELEASE or 11.3-RELEASE.

From messages:
Code: 
Jun  3 14:25:38 manatee kernel: iwn0: <Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200> mem 0xf2400000-0xf2401fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3
It was working fine for me on older versions on my Lenovo X201, but with both 12.1 and 11.3 it spontaneously shuts off with the following error:
Code: 
May 24 11:57:39 mako kernel: iwn0: iwn_read_firmware: ucode rev=0x09dd0401
May 24 12:45:07 mako kernel: iwn0: iwn_read_firmware: ucode rev=0x09dd0401
May 24 12:50:34 mako kernel: iwn0: device timeout
May 24 12:50:34 mako kernel: iwn0: iwn_read_firmware: ucode rev=0x09dd0401
May 24 12:50:34 mako kernel: iwn0: iwn_hw_init: could not power ON adapter, error 60
May 24 12:50:34 mako kernel: iwn0: iwn_init_locked: could not initialize hardware, error 60
A reboot fixes the issue temporarily, but it always shuts down after anywhere from a few minutes to maybe half an hour. To rule out hardware failure, I installed Debian, which has its own set of problems (trackpad, suspend/resume, etc), but the WiFi worked reliably.

Thanks,

Jason
 
It does have a slide switch, but this does not restart the WiFi. That was the first thing I tried. The same switch toggles both WiFi and Bluetooth and the Bluetooth interface does respond to it. Thanks...
