Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-24-generic

linux-backports-modules-wireless should include the ath9k_htc driver. It's a popular driver and it should be available in the sources, but it's not enabled. Ubuntu users keep asking in kernel mailing lists where to find ath9k_htc.

I confirm that that ath9k_htc is not included in linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-24-generic, which is current on Ubuntu 10.04. "apt-file search ath9k_htc.ko" gives no results.

I checked the package sources. It turns out Ubuntu uses compat-wireless based on Linux 2.6.34, which doesn't have ath9k_htc. Linux 2.6.35 was released recently. Once there is compat-wireless based on Linux 2.6.35, it will be here:
