Oddest glitch with the Intel Wifi Wireless Link N 1000

This is the oddest glitch with the card found above in the title (also known as the Centrino Wireless N 1000), but, after you install the driver, it doesn't work right away. After rebooting, the card wouldn't power up automatically with the laptop - you have the physically click the wifi button, then go into the network manager to turn on the wireless card, then choose the network. This is only right away - oddly enough, from what I experienced, after waiting several hours, then turning on the laptop, the card powers up. I do not know what causes this, or fixes it, but I experienced it many times after installation.

Steps I took that lead to this -
-Download firmware, put it in /lib/firmware/
-Install wireless-tools
-modprobe -r iwlagn ; modprobe iwlwifi (in a terminal boys)
-Wait a couple hours, it works upon booting, but not right away. You can reboot 12 times after installation and it will not work, I have done so rebooting 21 times.

What firmware? You shouldn't need to download any additional firmware for this card.

You probably don't need to modprobe anything at all - it should be automatic.

Have you bothered to read the wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wifi

I can assure you that the driver exhibits no such issues here.
