Hi shadowrecon,
I am using the Intel Centrino N6205 with no issues. If you run the following command you can see that the driver was loaded correctly
dmesg | grep 6205
[ 13.158660] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 AGN, REV=0xB0
Following Sergey's blog I ran the following command, replacing MyWiFi with my network SSID. In the next line with ">" I typed my password, hit enter. Then in the new line ">" I typed "EOF"
wpa_passphrase MyWiFi << EOF > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
I also added auto wlan0 to my /etc/network/interfaces file.
Rebooted my board and it connected to my network automatically.
You can also use the Wi-Fi examples in the IDE to connect to WPA,
WEP or scan for networks.
Regards,
