Hi aloniv! I created a ath9k_htc linux driver a long time ago when the firmware source code was first released to public as FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software). Since then, the firmware was whitelisted in the Toutatis mainline kernel, thus making this installer no longer necessary

You have probably forgot to install some packages that are necessary for a successful compilation. One of these packages on Toutatis was libc6-dev. You can also download the source code using wget if you want: wget https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/archive/master.zip Also, I
