Sorry - if I knew that I would have posted a suggestion or answer
sooner. I'd just noticed that it wasn't mentioned in the thread.
Did you install the matching headers? Do you get a match on the chipset
series when greping through the likely modules after piping through string?
I did notice that chipset appearing in a list of aliases on that wiki
page - that's one thing I'd check for. You could also check with the
author of that wiki page (it's not one of mine).
I don't have a similar chipset or much experience with wifi in general
so it's very unlikely I could offer more help than you are already getting.
Kind regards
