wlan doesnt work on Dell Studio XPS 15

Hey everyone!
Since yesterday I have the Dell Studio XPS 15 and so I installed Arch on it (had it on my previous laptop too). I installed kde and then I tried to use my wireless card to connect to my router. Every time I connect the connection breaks up when it tries to set the network adress. I get this error in dmesg:

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready

I searched for this problem and I found the solution to write this in the rc.local

rmmod iwlagn
modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=1

But this doesnt work for me. Has anyone an idea how I can get it work?

Best regards!

Re: wlan doesnt work on Dell Studio XPS 15

Mmmh... its very strange. Yesterday I got a connection and everything worked, but then suddenly the connection disconnected and I can't use my wlan interface (can't see any networks etc.) anymore. Any ideas?
