I’m trying to use a [Qualcomm based module](https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-R11e-2HPnD-miniPCI-1000mW-2xMMCX/dp/B0764CZNMC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CQIPKQVNH2X8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.TND3ae0xttSSJpGpqYGsv9xppJSnWvYtlssTBrRVHUZY9abO9jLKMpUjg2XScrkE.IicZw69Nf_W54-UhwhvZJmMeXRryV7pCTU-pKxGdLSo&dib_tag=se&keywords=R11e-2HPnD&qid=1714602393&sprefix=r11e-2hpnd%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-1) that requires a ath9k driver. I understand ath9k comes pre-installed. However, I could only find ath10k in the `/lib/modules/5.15.122-tegra/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/`  
How do I go about installing ath9k driver?

Hi,  
You would need to manually enable certain configs and rebuild kernel. Please refer to kernel section in developer guide:

> [Kernel — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.3/DeveloperGuide/SD/Kernel.html)
