I just installed Kubuntu 14.04 and I can't access to internet wireless, so I searcher (with an ethernet cable) and it was drivers issues, so I searched for them and I found a solution for someone that had the same issue, the post is here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2103062

But I'm having an error in one of the steps but I don't know what is happening. Here is what I'm doing:

First of all I'm getting the prerequisites to compile:


sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential

Then I'm following the steps that are in that post:


wget http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-3-stable/v3.6/compat-wireless-3.6.6-1-snpc.tar.bz2
tar xvf compat*
cd compat-wireless-3.6.6-1-snpc
sudo su
./scripts/driver-select ath9k
make
make install
modprobe ath9k
exit


When I'm at ./scripts/driver-select ath9k this is the result in the Terminal:

[Processing new driver-select request...
Backup exists: Makefile.bk

Backup exists: drivers/bcma/Makefile.bk
Backup exists: drivers/misc/eeprom/Makefile.bk

I don't know if it has something to do with this, but when I continue with make I'm having the error:

So I just can't continue with the other steps, anyone knows what is happening? I could use a lot your help guys.
My Computer is a Lenovo G50-30 with 4 GB Ram, 1 TB HDD and an Intel Celeron N2830 processor.

Thanks for reading :)
