Have you installed ndiswrapper before?
If yes, i think there is the problem, because ndiswrapper driver stop to work more other drivers! If you want to try ath9k_htc driver, you must remove ndiswrapper first, and then try to install it!
But must know that many times is not enough simply to remove it,
but reinstall distro, because ndiswrapper is changing many system files,
but many times works after just remove ndiswrapper!
