Try sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libc6-dev build-essential Then try it again. If that doesn't work, try sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid Then reboot, go into the hardware drivers, deactivate the Atheros 5xxx series and reactivate. Reboot again and it might work. Thats about what I could find from google.
