I have a running out of the box ubuntu maveric wich supports ar9271 very well

$su

#cd /lib/firmware

#chown root ar9271.fw

#chmod 644 ar9271.fw

#depmod -a

#modprobe ath9k

#lsmod

Open 2 terminals:

First terminal:

tail -f /var/log/messages

Watch first terminal for errors while you run commands in second terminal.

Second terminal:

#modprobe ath9k_htc

Re: TL-WN422G wifi usb adapter

thanks

that helped me figure out what the problem was

first slitaz 3.0 doesn't support tl-wn422g v2 (I down't know v1, wich is zydas chipset based)

then downloaded slitaz cooking live cd, and tested what you posted

ath9k_htc load at startup so I used

#modprobe -r ath9k_htc

then copied again my adapter firmware and gave the right permissions

loaded ath9k_htc module

#modprobe ath9k_htc

and, it's alive!

my adapter was up and running

thanks, very much!
