Just to let you know that the kernel for Trisquel 6 now includes the ability to load the firmware needed for these devices so you no longer need to install a different kernel. Both Trisquel version 3.2 and 3.5 kernels have this support.
You may need to go and apply a kernel update via your package manager to get this, and if you're using a mirror it may be a day or two before the mirrors have copies of the updated kernel so you may not see an updated package just yet.
(So if you're using my kernel please feel free to move back to the Trisquel kernel if you want.)
The firmware itself is still needed and I have pre-compiled .fw files available for download at http://jxself.org/ath9k-htc/ (drop them into /lib/firmware) but eventually that won't be necessary either once it gets packaged and included in the Trisquel repositories.
