I had a lot of trouble getting this card to work. Here is how I finally got it.

I am running 2.6.32-30-generic-pae #59-Ubuntu SMP
running "lsusb" shows the following line for my device: 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc.

I tried a bunch of different compat-wireless versions and this one finally did it. At the time, it was the latest stable release. The daily snapshots were causing kernel panics ... Download it, decompress it and build it:


$ tar xvf compat-wireless-2.6.38.2-2.tar.bz2
$ cd compat-wireless-2.6.38.2-2
$ ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install


I had to download version 1.2 of htc_9271.fw the firmware from here and copied the file to /lib/firmware.

I was getting wlan%d instead of something reasonable like wlan0. Running sudo ifconfig wlan%d showed me the mac address which I could use to add an entry to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Heres the entry I added: (note that the browser adds newlines here, but you should add just two lines: one for the comment, and one for the rule)


# USB device 0x0cf3:0x9271 (usb)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="54:e6:fc:94:91:35", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan2"


reload the drivers by running:

sudo modprobe ath9k_htc


Now plug in the device. There were a lot of other steps that I followed while trying to get this to work, so I may have left something out.

• Remove the plate covering the power button and numlock/capslock keys. This can be done by twisting a screwdriver under the little slot on the top right hand side of the cover.
• Remove the frame around the screen. Do this by removing the 6 little pads and and stickers covering the screws to remove the frame from the screen. There is one in each of the corners and two near the center/top. Unscrew these screws. To remove the screen cover frame you will need to twist and pry a little bit near the hinges. Don't be afraid it does require some force.

  Once it is removed it should look like this:

  

• With the frame off, remove the screws holding the screen to the lid. There are some that screw down from the top and other that screw into the side of the screen, just look around. Next, remove a couple screws holding the microphone/webcam board above the very top of the screen. This will allow you to safely move the entire screen and get to the inverter. Once you have done this, you can open your laptop lid all of the way so it is almost flat and move the screen and webcam board so they are flat on the keyboard. It should look like this:

  

• Replace the Inverter. At this point you should be able to easily get to the inverter which is between the hinges below the screen. There are two cables to unplug. One has a blue ribbon to pull on and the other a white connector to pull out.
• Once you've switched them out, put everything back together and you're done.

It took me a long time to realize that if I removed the screws to the microphone/webcam board it would move with the screen which led to lots of problems trying to get to the inverter while the screen was still attached to the lid. That is really the only trick.

Good luck!

The problem was with apparmor. It was restricting mysql from reading and writing to /home/mysql. To correct this I edited the file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld and added:


/home/mysql r,
/home/mysql** rwk,


to the end of the file. Then restarted apparmor:


sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor restart


and then restarted apache with no problem

TOLUA = tolua++5.1
 
tolua_%.cpp tolua_%.h : %.pkg
	$(TOLUA) -o $(@:%.h=%.cpp) -H $(@:%.cpp=%.h) $<

this will generate tolua_file.cpp and tolua_file.h files from corresponding file.pkg files anytime they the .cpp or .h file is depended on somewhere else in the file. In my case I just added tolua_file.o to my list of objects. Here is the full makefile for the project which required this - for reference:
