I am very new to installing Linux on laptops. I got it working on another 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 will do a fresh installation and see if that does not install the module.

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:
