Support for Atheros AR9271 based WiFi USB cards.

Hey. I am wondering how to fix problem with my TP-LINK dongle.
Here some info about adapter:

TP-LINK	TL-WN722N AR9271 0x0cf3	0x9271

I found some info about problems with USB adapters and I tried to fix mine, but I’m not able to do it.

My router is based on Zeroshell 2.0RC2, and when I connect my adapter I get:

$dmesg | grep ath



[   66.367617] ath9k_htc 8-2:1.0: usb_probe_interface

[   66.367622] ath9k_htc 8-2:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id

[   66.367629] usb 8-2: ath9k_htc: Firmware htc_9271.fw requested

[   66.368716] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath9k_htc

[   66.370094] usb 8-2: ath9k_htc: Failed to get firmware htc_9271.fw

[   66.370165] usb 8-2: ath9k_htc: USB layer deinitialized

so I’d copied /firmware from CDROM to /DB/new/firmware, added htc_9271.fw and mounted it with:

$ mount  --bind /DB/new/firmware  /lib/firmware

but i still get this:

[  136.877493] ath9k_htc 8-2:1.0: usb_probe_interface

[  136.877497] ath9k_htc 8-2:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id

[  136.877504] usb 8-2: ath9k_htc: Firmware htc_9271.fw requested

[  197.856158] usb 8-2: ath9k_htc: Failed to get firmware htc_9271.fw

[  197.856234] usb 8-2: ath9k_htc: USB layer deinitialized

Can anyone can help me and others with AR9271 to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
