I just setup a TP-Link TL-WN722N USB N Wireless adapter on Ubuntu 10.04 
with LinuxCNC.

They are about $16.00 on Amazon.   ( I have no idea how they can make 
that and sell it for $16.00! )

There is a ath9k_htc driver installation program that is on sourceforge 
and I tried that and that did not work for me so I removed it.

I followed the directions supplied in the first answer on this page to 
get the driver installed.

I used that exact version of compat-wireless also.  I tried an earlier 
version
and the atheros (ath9k_htc) driver was not an option with the earlier 
version.

That got the driver loaded, but using "dmesg" after attaching the USB 
device said it could not find the firmware file for the USB device.

I tried all kinds of things to compile a firmware file for the device 
all to no avail.  Then someone mentioned that
installing the package "linux-firmware" via the synaptic package manager 
might work.  So I installed version 1.34.14, I rebooted the computer and 
the USB Wireless stick came up and ran.

WPA/2 is an option on the wireless settings.    So it should work fine.  
I'm currently setup with WEP (I live in the sticks.. )
