I am trying to install driver for the TP-LINK : TL-WN721N (Wi-Fi USB
Device). If this is not the sort of issues this mailing list is for,
please let me know.
This device should use the ath9k_htc driver
./lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc.
I have followed the instruction from
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download
<http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download> But they do not seem to
work for me
When I modprobe ath9k_htc
Ubu-VM:/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/build$ sudo modprobe ath9k_htc
FATAL: Error inserting ath9k_htc

What is the 'cw' directory ?
On my machine, modinfo -n ath9k_hw shows:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_hw.ko
You have some stray modules in your system, clean them up
and reload the driver.

You haven't unloaded the existing ath9k_hw module.
Do a 'sudo make install' in your compat directory, and
then 'sudo make unload'.
Check 'lsmod | grep ath'. If anything is still present, unload all of them,
along with mac80211, cfg80211. Then modprobe ath9k_htc.
Of course, you can just reboot after 'sudo make install' and things should work.

Thanks Sujith & Luis that fixed it. I can now see the device and use it
correctly.
I remove the 'cw' directory and then
'sudo make install'
'sudo make unload'
'sudo modprobe ath9k_htc'
I did install the compat-wireless package, I believe I did it while
self-debugging the issue without knowing the implications.

What does 'modinfo ath9k_hw' show ?

I had checked earlier to ensure that everything was unloaded.
But I've done it again to make sure.
Step 1 : 'sudo make unload'
Step 2 : 'lsmod | grep ath' [Returns Nothing, thus indicating none of
these modules are loaded]
If I do 'modprobe ath9k_htc' after this, I still get the same error

Its ubuntu's compat-wireless package, linux-backport-modules. Try to
uninstall that or rm -rf it.
