I assume you're running Ubuntu (being a member of the ubuntu advertising team). You shouldn't need to use ndiswrapper for this driver as it seems the ar9170 atheros chipset is supported in the Kernel from 2.6.31 onwards (<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170">http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170</a>). That said, she website doesn't mention your vendor so I'm not entirely sure. What I would do is download the firmware file mentioned on the site and put it in /lib/firmware/ , uninstall ndiswrapper completely and then run 'sudo modprobe ar9170usb' from a terminal. It may work after doing that.<div>
