Your probably have to patch your drivers.
See here: http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compat-wireless&s#compat-wireless

So i searched on the internet, and i found that i have to update my wireless driver. I think I do.

So here is my wireless info

Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Atheros ath9k - [phy0]

i cant find a way to update the ath9k driver :(

Can someone give me a easy to follow tutorial, because a lot of places are saying kernel, and i have no idea how i do anything with the linux kernel!

So in conclusion do i have to patch, or update the driver.

Also can someone help me do it?

Thanks!

Is this a USB device or PCI device? If USB, you could try Vagrale13's deb package on source forge. Myself and others have used it with success to install a Netgear WNA1100 which is ATH9K based. Using it is a 2 step process. The first step is to install the .deb file using the gdebi installer or Ubuntu Software Center. The second step is to click on Applications-system tools-Ath9k installer. Be patient, it takes several minutes. If your device is PCI, this won't work AFAIK.

A caution--installing this may disable any other wireless adapters. Removing the installer via synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center restored the other wireless adapters. You may find that Natty supports your ath9K device from the install, no additional software or tweaks needed.
