We don't have that firmware packaged in Fedora either -- no one ever bothered to review my package of the SH cross compiler used to build the firmware, and I haven't bothered to bang the drum about it either.

Anyway, you can find the firmware and get it installed by starting here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc#Firmware Hth! John -- John W.
