You have likely erased the original contents of /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf To restore do gedit admin:///etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Paste in the following

# /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
remove iwlwifi \
(/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) \
&& /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211

Save and exit 1
