gnu/system.scm contains

(define %default-modprobe-blacklist
  ;; List of kernel modules to blacklist by default.
  '("usbmouse" ;races with bcm5974, see <https://bugs.gnu.org/35574>
    "usbkbd")) ;races with usbhid, see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/35574#18>

Perhaps send a patch or open a bug to add your wifi’s module to the
default modprobe blacklist.
