Install wireless for pressario CQ50 in Ubuntu

After struggling for a whole day, I finally found the right package for my Atheros wireless card.
It's very simple, watch this post:

Or you can search "compat wireless ath9k" online.
You can also type

echo 'ath9k' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

to let your wireless auto-start when boot.

I tried to compile several drivers by myself but all failed to work, until I found the link above. So don't waste your time to compile yourself, just use the script in the link.
Good luck.
