chmod +x compat-wireless-ath9k-20080916.sh
./compat-wireless-ath9k-20080916.sh
sudo dpkg --install compat*deb
echo 'ath_pci' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Then restart and your wireless connection should work. If not, please post the output of:
Code:
lshw -C Network
dmeg | grep -e ath -e wlan
sudo iwlist scan
lsmod | grep ath
Ok, I will try again. Thanks, for answer.

I gave this a shot but when I try to untar gz the file I get the following error.
Code:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I just tried it and it works alright on my end. Your download may have gotten corrupted, which prevented the file from being extracted properly. I'd try removing the compat-wireless-ath9k-20080916.tar.gz and then run the commands again. If it fails on a second try, please post the exact commands you're typing in, along with all of the output.
Also keep in mind that this thread is more than a couple years old and I'm not sure whether the instructions here will still work on more recent Ubuntu releases. But they shouldn't hurt either.
