This device should use the ath9k_htc driver

I have followed the instruction from

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.

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
