How to get AR9271 USB wifi working

Hi Guys,

i try to get work my TP-LINK (TL-WN721N) USB wifi in the last 3 days. It need the AR9271 driver.

I have the VMware image on my computer.

I connected my USB wifi key to the VMware.

I downloaded the ar9170-1.fw, ar9170-2.fw, ar9170.fw, ar9271.fw and copyed them to the /lib/firmware library.

I try with many version of compat-wireless package the following:

- download, unpack
- ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc
- make && make install (some version dropped Error)
- make unload
- make load or modprobe ath9k_htc

Now i can see iwconfig, airmon-ng, the wlan0 and wlan1 to, but in ifconfing only wlan0, so i make airmon-ng start wlan0, but airodump-ng wlan0 see no the wifi networks....

I'am very confused, what to do next???
