Just download and install the kernel firmware package, as described in the
book, works perfectly, and fedora does the same. I have currently about
seven different laptops working with wireless and blfs, so the problem is
not lfs, but not properly reading the book

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.

well /sys/net/class has enp14so and wlp2so apart from lo. . Boot to Arch

lspci command gives me this for network : Network controller: Qualcomm
Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01 lsmod command give me

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.
