Do I need to install something to make it work? Do I need the wireless-tools
According to Linux Wireless this network adapter should use a Antheros 9271.

Ok I have found out I need to install the driver for this adapter.
I can compile a module based on these drivers http://wireless.kern...ivers/ath9k_htc
Any HOWTO that explains what to do? Or is there any repository where we can find these modules?

yours,

libo

 Hi libolido ! I have also TP-LINK TLWN722NC WiFi USB adapter and I strugle with same problem. If you manage to install ath9k drivers (ar9271) sucessfuly - can you please explain in details sequence how you made it work?! I'm preaty sure not only my vould be very appretiated to you.

 I'm not very familiar with Linux (just basic things with transfer files, edit them, set permisions in Linux) that's why it is little bit complicated to me.

 Thanx in advance. Bye !
