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?
