Guix uses the linux-libre kernel, which removes support for devices that
lack freely licensed drivers and firmware.
Unfortunately, all iwlwifi devices are in that category. So, your wifi
chip is not supported on Guix System.
You can try another wifi card that is supported (basically, ath9k) or
you can install using a different netowrk interface and then configure
your Guix System to use a kernel that supports your hardware.
