Centrino Advanced-N 6200 takes 2 minutes to initialize

Hi,

I have Thinkpad T410  laptop with the "Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200" wifi card. After a recent update, there is a problem at startup - it takes 2 minutes for the wifi to initialize because of firmware load error.

Here's what shown in dmesg:

# dmesg | grep iwlwifi

After the 2 minutes, everything works fine.

I have no idea how to fix this and I'm not able to google anything useful It might be important to note that I'm using the linux-ck-nehalem kernel from repo-ck:

# uname -a
Linux latitude-t410 3.16.7-1-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 30 16:07:00 EDT 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I would be very grateful for any help.

Best regards,
Crocodil

EDIT: After next update, which included systemd-217-5, everything seems to be back to normal

EDIT2: I'm affraid the problem is back again, so I would be very grateful for any suggestions...
