Okay, here's one thing to try:
Download this file to cour Desktop:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=blob;f=ar9271.fw;h=2398e5517b0ad7da 7adad54763b91705a3d2acb7;hb=HEAD

then open up a terminal and enter these commands one after the other (you will be asked for your password on the last step)

 cd Desktop
 sudo mv ar9271.fw /lib/firmware

reboot and see whether it works. Be sure to unplug your device and plug it in again after rebooting.

If it doesn't, follow these steps:

Download this file to your desktop:

 http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2

Then open a terminal and enter these commands one after the other (you will be asked for your password on the last step):
 cd Desktop
 tar xjvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
 cd compat-wireless-2.6
 ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc
 make && sudo make install

after that reboot.
