More problems: 

I managed to load the firmware and insert the module.... but I had
radio kill switch on. It complained that kill switch is on, but
turning it off did not help. Module unload/reload was neccessary to
get it to work.

I still do not see the wlan led. It seems to scan okay, but I can't
seem to connect, and I get this in logs:
