It's difficult to guess what the problem is. Please provide some information (see https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.ph … 62#p19962).
Does your card work (or did it work recently) on another computer?

First of all please confirm that this is the INTERNAL PCI card on the right of this picture https://static.tp-link.com/resources/so … 135909.pdf
If it is the PCMCIA card on the left then it is a different problem altogether.
These cards used an Atheros chipset - we're talking 2010 vintage here - and the atheros firmware is installed by default.
