The firmware-atheros non-free package (https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-atheros) should contain the drivers/blobs needed for your Wi-Fi adapter. If you have network connectivity, you can just enable the non-free section and install the package. The default Debian ISO doesn't ship with non-free firmware/driver blobs any more. But there are unofficial ISO images provided by the project which contain those built-in. See https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/9.6.0+nonfree/. So you can also use these ISO images. Thanks & Regards, Guruprasad -- https://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
