I have been searching for a while on how to do this, but am unable to get anywhere. Here is the wireless card I have:

Your trace looks like the output of sudo lshw -class Network - as such the kernel has already recognised your wireless card and you most probably dont need to download any drivers.

Try the following suggested fix:

Run the following in a terminal:

sudo rmmod -f ath5k
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo modprobe ath5k

Then restart your network connection

ifconfig wlan0 up
