Have a look at

lspci -vnn

for the device ID of the card - something like [168C:0030]at the end. Next check

modinfo ath9k |grep 030]

if that device ID is in the list for the module. At least one card with that chip is supported according to linuxwireless.

If not in the list, post the results of above.

If it is in the list, check if ath9k is autoloaded on boot and any errors in logs.

It seems the abcd device id is used as a default value when there's no real device id stored on the card.
here are some links (very technical stuff)

You could look into using the windows driver with ndiswrapper, check the wiki.

i check link above and one is german so i dont speak german but other one i read all post so the reason is some bug in firmware, so i think its was wrong choice about that card, i think i just put on my old card , because its realy hard to make that card working under liunux...

so thanks for help
