Can't install ath9k-htc-firmware drivers

I recently bought a TP-LINK WN722N usb wifi adapter and am trying to install the correct drivers, which seem to be ath9k-htc-firmware.

However, I am not able to build them from the AUR.

The same thing happens when using makepkg instead of packer.

Re: Can't install ath9k-htc-firmware drivers

In case you just want to get your adapter working (which I suggest, since building a cross-compiling environment to get a firmware file seems a bit over-the-top):

# cd /usr/lib/firmware
# curl -o ar9271.fw 'https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/kernel/dists/trunk/firmware-nonfree/atheros/ar9271.fw?revision=16995&view=co'
# curl -o htc_9271.fw 'https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/kernel/dists/trunk/firmware-nonfree/atheros/htc_9271.fw?revision=22639&view=co'

The firmware is already in the linux-firmware package, you don't need to do anything to get a ath9k_htc device working except plugging it in.

Totally failed to realize that, Gusar is right.
