I have a PCI WLan-adapter attached to my computer but I can't get it to work. No wlan0 at all.
My adapter seems to be supported by ath9k.

How exactly did you determine at9k should be the right driver?
Anyway, post lspci -nn |

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/products/external#D-Link lists my adapter (D-link DWA-547) as compatible with the ath9k.

Ok, for some reason the machine mis-identifies the device. It should be 168c:0029, but what you get is 128c:0029. Have you tried a LiveCD/USB of some other distro to see if it works there?
One idea, no guarantee of success: | Code: | modprobe ath9k
echo "128c 0029" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ath9k/new_id |

Linux Mint 12 KDE LiveDVD shows the same thing.
| Code: | | 03:07.0 Network controller [0280]: Retix Corporation Device [128c:0029] (rev 01) |
EDIT: I did something I should've tried days ago, I switched the adapter to another PCI slot and this is the result of lspci -nn
| Code: | | 03:06.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR922X Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0029] (rev 01) |
Now ifconfig shows wlan0.
Thank you for your help.
