From what you have shown, it looks as if the correct module has been
loaded. Please confirm that the firmware is there:

ls -l /lib/firmware/

What is not clear is at what point you have difficulty connecting to
wireless. Do you see available wireless connections? Use the iwlist
command if necessary. Or is it when you attempt to make a connection
that it failed? Could it be a security setup/password issue? If/when
using NetworkManager, do you get a request for the keyring password?
etc.
