The first thing I checked was the BIOS settings, and the radio is turned on.
I have a clean install again and am still not working.
I think the iwlagn driver was deprecated by the iwlwifi driver. In the dmesg output I saw that it lists with iwlwifi direver as being the Wifi Link AGN driver for Linux.
Two messages jump out at me. Unable to init EEPROM and HARDWARE GONE?? I have tried toggling the radio on and off after booting but that does not seem to make a difference.

Toshiba I owned without to much trouble, and then decided I wanted to experiment with KVM so I bought this laptop with an I5 chip.
Anyway I tried modprobe iwlagn and the driver is not found. I then did a search for it using find and again came up empty handed. Googling for Centos iwlagn seems to indicate that the module is a standard part of the Centos 6 build. But I seem to be missing this on my installation. I

do a fresh installation and see if that does not install the module.
Before you do that, try searching the yum repo. I came up with a number of hits:

Also, be sure that your radio is enabled in BIOS and after boot, once you have the proper packages installed. If the wifi indicator is not lit it may be disabled. Most laptops have a function key sequence to enable/disable wifi/bluetooth. You may need to toggle this to get your wifi radio to turn on.

First, have you tried googling Centos 6 centrino N 6200, as I just did? And the very first hit was posted 11 Jan 2011, and one comment was:
The Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6200AGN and 6300AGN Adapters are
supported by
the iwlagn driver in 5.5 and 5.6.
You will need the appropriate firmware installed, in this case iwl6000-firmware available from elrepo.org:
