Thank you all!

Thanks for these instructions I can confirm it works with the Novatech nSpire N1507 as well (http://www.novatech.co.uk/laptop/ran...piren1507.html)
It was in fact a little easier, only had to make the modifications to the wireless drives didnt have the fatal warnings when doing a sudo modprobe ath9k after the first compile.
I hate to do this, but I just got back from the shop with a Novatech Ultrabook N1403 & am having the same problem with my wireless. Unfortunately I think I have a little more difficulty following all these instructions & methods than the rest of you do! Should I go from stage 1 of this thread & follow it through as best I can or do I not need to? How exactly did you fix the problem last time with the minimum of steps?
Sorry to be struggling, any help appreciated.

Patched together from Wild Man and Chili's efforts:
If you have installed ndiswrapper:
You can avoid a reboot if you are comfortable to do so after the `make install` by following the instructions it gives you.
Something like:Code:sudo make wlunload sudo modprobe ath9k
I hate being dumb, although I am good at it. But when I follow the link to get the base code to change:
Now go here and download compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 to your desktop.
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Do...ng_the_tarball
I end up on the following page
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/...table_releases
and I have no idea which file I am supposed to use to edit for my ar9462 wireless.
Any help for the hopeless?

The latest version 3.5.1.1snpc already contains the change but may or may not compile correctly depending on your kernel version. I suggest you start with that one and if you get through 'make' with no errors, you're all set. You may safely sudo make install and sudo modprobe ath9k.

Thank you VERY MUCH! This fix is as 'slick as goose grease'.

That's our goal!This fix is as 'slick as goose grease'.
Glad it's working. You have compiled the driver only for your currently running kernel version. When Update Manager installs a later linux-image, aka kernel, you'll need to compile a driver for the new one after you reboot:Please retain these notes for that inevitable day.Code:cd Desktop/compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc <--or wherever you extracted it make clean make sudo make install sudo modprobe ath9k

Hi,
I have an Atheros AR9462 card and I cannot connect to the net. I ead all he thread and I don't know if I can apply theses procedures to my case. I don' seem to have a problem with my device ID not appearing in modinfo ath9k.
Anyway, I tried all sorts of solution proposed here and there and nothing works. I didn't try the madwifi nor the ndiswrapper solution though.
Here's some of the output of commands suggested by Wild Man :
