Decided to try out ubuntu mate as I have heard lots of good things.
I was using mint mate 17.3. My wifi card is a qualcomm atheros card and will
not show up by default. I used the following site to get it working with mint, but it wont work for ubuntu mate.
I get the following error. Hope someone can help me figure this out.
