I decided that since my topic spun completely off-topic, I should make a new thread. I finally managed to get my wireless card recognized with the iwlwifi drivers (yay, thank you zen-sources!) but there are a couple of problems with the drivers.

For one, I can't scan for wireless networks! `iwlist wlan0 scan` complains:
Code:
ackbar pobega # iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down

I actually got past that by settings disable_hw_scan=1 with modprobe, but here is the output when I try to connect:

Code:
ackbar pobega # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
 * Stopping wlan0
 *   Bringing down wlan0
 *     Shutting down wlan0 ...                                                                                                                                                                                [ ok ]

 *     Stopping wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...                                                                                                                                                                   [ ok ]

 *     Backgrounding ...


And (I always use wifi-radar to connect after associating with wpa_supplicant)

Code:
Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it
Delete '/var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0' manually if it is not used anymore
Failed to initialize control interface '/var/run/wpa_supplicant'.
You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.

ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - err, wlan0 timed out
