Post the full output, you can remove the changes by

cd backports-4.14
sudo make uninstall

Reboot

This is where I saw apparent errors :

Do you want the output (dmesg | grep ath) before or after removing the changes?

[jeremy31]

Actually did you run all the commands even sudo make install? Some of those errors might be normal in the newer backports

I copy/pasted every command.

I just did a dmesg | grep ath and it retuned empty.

EDIT: Yes, I carried out the initial sudo make install, rebooted and then followed with the second make install and reboot.

[jeremy31]

Do you have dmesg | grep ath output from when the backports were used? I am using the backports now with my ath9k Atheros wifi in 17.10 with the 4.13.0-32 kernel
Is there a way to access BIOS/UEFI to see if Secure Boot is disabled?

[makem2]

No, but i will get a dmesg | grep ath

Fast boot is disabled. Secure boot? If there is such a thing I will find it.

[makem2]

Secure boot was on and is now off. Fast BIOS was also on and is now off.

I have WiFi via the dongle now.

I will try removing and reboot.

[makem2]

WiFi is working correctly and I am now able to use 5GHz.

Thank you for your assistance and patience.

Do you still require the dmesg?

[jeremy31]

If the internal Atheros card is working, I do not require the dmesg
