I see a discrepancy on the directory where the modules are being
picked up on. The ones that should be used are the ones in updates for
compat-wireless, your kernel drivers are under kernel. Lets try this
to be sure:

cd /lib/modules/2.6.27.4-desktop-0.uc1mnb/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi

rename everything there from foo to foo.ignore, for example, then run

sudo depmod -ae

and finally then try unloading all the wireless modules and then try
loading iwlagn.
