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.
