Your firmware appears to be installed and the wl driver you compiled
appears to be loaded.  If the driver and firmware are compatible then I
would check that Network Manager is running and Networking and Wireless
Networking are enabled in the NM applet.  Network Manager should create
an auto-<ssid_of_accesspoint> configuration file
in  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

If that all looks o.k. I'll have to pass the baton to someone that may
have experience with your driver.

The stock driver (b43) does work on my machine although on some routers
dhcp does not work and I have had to configure a static IP to get a
connection.  ymmv.
