After I got my LFS up and running. I then wanted to get my wireless
working. Well it still is not. I found this mailing and have the
same problem.

Thank you and Best regards
On my Dell laptop I only have a wireless NIC. It also is using the
Atheros AR9485 Network Adapter.
I have rebuilt the kernel with cfg8011, ath, ath9k_common, ath9k,
mac80211 as modules.
Funny thing is if I boot using a Fedora 24 live thumb drive it is able
to use the wireless network card with the same kernel modules.
Not sure what Fedora did to get it to work. I have seen this NIC has
been an issue on Debian and Ubuntu forums but no one has an answer
except for rebuilding the drivers from the kernel backport.
Trying to rebuild from backport is another problem especially with the
current kernel. I will not go into the issues I have had with that.
I think I will try Gentoo next.
