Wi-fi adapter Intel 6205 does not work

Hi 2 all!
I have laptop Dell Xps 15 (L502x) with Intel card 1030. I decided to replace card on Intel 6205, cause wi-fi was tooooo slooooow.
I have two OS: Windows 7 and Linux (archlinux, kernel 3.15.5-2).

In Windows card working without problems. But it’s not working in Linux

Occurs error:

[5.892574] IPv6: ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): enp6s0: link is not ready
[5.893096] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Enabled; Disabling L0S
[5.893346] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Radio type = 0x1-0x0-0x1
[6.898559] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Failed to run INIT ucode: -110
[6.899882] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Unable to initialize device.

Full log available here. I tried to boot from the live-usb Ubuntu. But there was the same error.

Also, card visible by command «lspci».

Then. I have another laptop with the same card Intel 6205  (but it's native). This laptop in Ubuntu works well.

It could be argued that the card does not work in Ubuntu because it is not native to laptop Dell Xps. But it’s works well in Windows.

I tried to do:
- Google these theme
- install package intel-ucode
- underlay the firmware in /lib/firmware from the home site
- execute mkinitcpio-p Linux
- reinstall Linux package (pacman -S linux)
- create the file /etc /modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf containing

options iwlwifi 11n_disable = 1
options iwlwifi swcrypto = 1

Nothing helped

What other actions I should try to do?
