You are missing the correct definition of "very successfully". ;-)
You may have to go over to the intel site and download
source for that card and build it against the new kernel,
and/or install the firmware file again.
Firmware goes in /lib/firmware/
But you might be missing something in
/lib/modules/<your-kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/firmware
