Curiously, my wireless has been working great with the above ath10 deb
package, however on recent reboots my wireless seems dead :-/.

I can confirm that it works in Windows 10 and hardware switch is on, yet
on Linux boot, it doesn't try and load the modules. When I do it
manually, _nothing_ happens. I'm tailing all the logs, checking dmesg.

Usually, when you load the module, the logs show the firmware trying to
be loaded. In this case silence. If you hit the hardware switch then I
only see something about the bluetooth part of it trying something;

[   81.376164] usb 1-9: new full-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd
[   81.505197] usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=0cf3, idProduct=3004

[   81.506118] Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed
[   81.506123] ath3k: probe of 1-9:1.0 failed with error -2

rfkill shows nothing, lshw shows that the device is unclaimed. Might try
an earlier kernel (on 3.19.0-26-generic). Very confused.

  Card detail: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:003e] (rev 20)
  Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc. Device [1a56:1525]

  This is on a fully updated Ubuntu Server 14.04 installation, with the ubuntu-desktop environment installed. This happened in order to get the md raid drivers for raid0 on my system, as the desktop version doesn't support them.
