[Bug 1899858] [NEW] Distribution 20.04.1 does not support Atheros 802.11n wireless LAN cards

Public bug reported:

Distribution 20.04.1 does not support Atheros 802.11n wireless LAN
cards. Either the module (ath9k) is missing or the "improved" version
does not work.

I am currently running Ubuntu MATE 18.04.5. Since this is no longer supported, I tried to install 20.04.1. Unfortunately this version does not support my WiFi hardware (versions 13.04-19.10 do).
So I am stuck at 18.04 until 20.04 is actually ready to be released. (Is it an alpha version?)

I tried a BrosTrend WiFi adapter from another computer since I have the
driver on CD. That dose not work either.
