Here's how to get a MAC address. Assuming (as I do) you have Windows on the same box, go there and start Windows. Then start wireless. Now go to the router admin page on Fedora, asn look to see what's attached. Voila!
The bad news: upgraded the definition for the connection. Still no luck.
How can I tell if the kernel sees the driver?
To get the MAC address, as root, "ifconfig -a", look for the wifi device
and look for the "ether" bit...just like any NIC:
[root@golem4 local]# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.2.157 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255
inet6 fe80::be77:37ff:fe51:115c prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
--->>> ether bc:77:37:51:11:5c txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) <<<----
RX packets 165126 bytes 31581078 (30.1 MiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 17241 bytes 1449351 (1.3 MiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
Alternately, use "lspci -v" and look for its entry. The MAC will be
listed as "Device Serial Number":
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030
[Rainbow Peak] (rev 34)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 BGN

At least it does for me. Your mileage may differ.

Hmmm ... memo to self: always google first.
So, two things. The MAC address that I used was for the ethernet
interface. ip does not show wifi, nor does lspci. The module is
loaded.

The kernel info at the link is helpful in that it confirms that the
7260 is supported. Your modprobe command is the key. With all of the
permutations I tried, that particular one never occurred :-) Of
course, modprobe installed the firmware with nary a complaint. With
this, NetworkManager permitted me to create an entry for wifi,
although this did not allow me to connect, even after a reboot
(modprobe config file in place)
The only thing that I can think of is that I mis-copied the MAC
address at install time. Any idea how to find it?

I'm setting up a laptop with Fedora 19 up-to-date. The wireless
chip
is an Intel 7260.HMW, and I've confirmed that it works (under
windows). The chip was not recognized by the install, so I did a
yum
install of iwl7260.firmware.noarch. That did not install the
module,
and insmod refuses to install either of the two ucode files. So,
presumably they're not modules ("firmware" might be a clue?) So,
how
should I proceed at this point?
Have you looked here?
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi
What happens when you "modprobe iwlwifi" with the firmware
installed?
Thanks.
