So the proces is actally very simple you need to install the Atheros Drivers (maybe already installed)

sudo apt-get install firmware-atheros


Now you need to enter the following commands:

echo $'#!/bin/sh \n modprobe ath9k_htc \n echo 0471 209e > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ath9k_htc/new_id' | sudo tee /usr/local/sbin/pta01.sh

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/pta01.sh

echo $'ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", ATTRS{idProduct}=="209e", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/pta01.sh"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/pta01-wifi.rules

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

sudo udevadm trigger
