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.
