Thanks for your feedback. I could get access in my company to an older
Latitude E6330 with an i5 CPU. It seems to use a similar chipset:

$ fgrep iwn0 dmesg.e6630 
iwn0: <Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205> mem 0xf7d00000-0xf7d01fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2

$ grep intel Xorg.0.log.e6630  | grep "HD Gra"
[   119.614] (--) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000

I booted it from a prepared USB stick containing a complete system,
compiled ports, Xorg and KDE4 and all went up fine, as well the WLAN came up.

I think I will order it (they asked only some 730 Euro for the used
item, including varanty).

Btw: it's a pitty that the laptop compatibility list is down already for
years :-(

I had a similar issue with sound lower/up/off/on and had to use on my
Acer Aspire some xmodmap tweakings:

xmodmap -e "keycode 174 = F21"    # volume down
xmodmap -e "keycode 176 = F22"    # volume up
xmodmap -e "keycode 140 = F23"    # volume mute

HIH
