Hi guys, I already solved that problem. Using an older version of compat-wireless I solved the problem related to cpufreq support and I load the modules in the following order: compat.ko compat_firmware_class.ko rfkill_backport.ko cfg80211.ko mac80211.ko ath.ko ath9k_hw.ko ath9k_common.ko ath9k.ko ath9k_htc.ko However, when I plug the WiFi module, the kernel says that it can not find the firmware file. Below is what he says: usb 1-1.3: new full speed USB device using at91_ohci and address 4 usb 1-1.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 1-1.3: ath9k_htc: Firmware - htc_9271.fw not found ath9k_htc: probe of 1-1.3:1.0 failed with error -22 I configured the kernel to look for firmware files under /lib/firmware/ but still not working, it always says that it cannot find the firmware file. I do not know whether the problem is in the .config file before compiling the kernel or in the filesystem. I am a bit lost because I do not know in what direction I should go. I have to mention that I am using an old version of busybox that does not have depmod or lsusb that would help me a lot. Configuring a new busybox would take me a long time... Any idea of what to do? Many thanks again for keeping helping me Best Regards Felipe Lopez 2012/11/17 Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@xxxxxxxxxx>: > On 11/14/2012 07:27 PM, Pat Erley wrote: >> On 11/14/2012 05:21 AM, Felipe López wrote: >>> Hello guys, >>> >>> >>> I am Felipe López and I am working with an TL-WN722N that comes with a >>> AR9271 chipset.
