4. DownloadCompat-wireless-3.3-1.tar.bz2Pack, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable.
Since the current server does not have internet connection, I will need to download the driver into my local PC and transfer to the server using USB hard drive. I then copy the package/RootDirectory in the destination server.
5. decompress and compile
$ cd /root$ tar -xjzf compat-wireless-3.3-1.tar.bz2$ cd compat-wireless-*$ ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc$ make$ make install
6. In addition, we need to download the corresponding firmware.
$ cd /lib/firmware$ wget http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/htc_7010.fw
$ init 6
7. restart Machine
