I found this page http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc which contained a link this (http://wireless.kernel.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/ ) download location which includes the 1.3 version. I downloaded the htc_7071.fw file and placed it in /lib/firmware directory. Once the module reloaded the device is correctly identified: Jun 23 15:07:08 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1559.815440] usb 6-1.1: new high speed USB device number 7 using ehci_hcd Jun 23 15:07:09 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1559.907898] usb 6-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0cf3, idProduct=7015 Jun 23 15:07:09 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1559.907901] usb 6-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=48 Jun 23 15:07:09 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1559.907902] usb 6-1.1: Product: UB95 Jun 23 15:07:09 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1559.907903] usb 6-1.1: Manufacturer: ATHEROS Jun 23 15:07:09 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1559.907904] usb 6-1.1: SerialNumber: 12345 Jun 23 15:07:09 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1560.016328] usb 6-1.1: ath9k_htc: Transferred FW: htc_7010.fw, size: 72992 Jun 23 15:07:09 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1560.077339] ath9k_htc 6-1.1:1.0: ath9k_htc: HTC initialized with 45 credits Jun 23 15:07:09 chris-desktop kernel: [ 1560.204309] ath9k_htc 6-1.1:1.0: ath9k_htc: FW Version: 1.3 Could this package be updated with the newer version of the firmware? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-rc2 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
