Expected behavior:
Network adapter should be visible via `iw list`, `iwconfig`, and `ifconfig`.
Actual behavior:
Network adapter is visible in `lspci` and `lshw`, but not in `iw list`, `iwconfig`, or `ifconfig`
Details:
The Atheros network card is detected by the ath9k driver when installed into a machine with x86_64 architecture. When the same card is installed into a miniPCIe-to-PCIe adapter, then plugged into a Raspberry Pi CM4 IO breakout board, the network adapter can be seen via lspci and lshw but is not seen by iw, iwconfig, or ifconfig.

[Impact]
PCIe cards based on ath9k chips are not recognized.
[Test Case]
Plug a ath9k based PCIe card into the PCIe slot of a CM4 IO board and:
$ ls /sys/class/net/wlan0
ls: cannot access '/sys/class/net/wlan0': No such file or directory
[Where Problems Could Occur]
Buggy driver could result in crashes.
