Ubiquiti WiFiStation 802.11n [Atheros AR9271] not recognized

[xabih]

Kubuntu 11.10 doesn't recognize my new wireless USB adapter Ubiquiti WiFiStation 802.11n with Atheros AR9271 chip



~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:b002 Atheros Communications, Inc. Ubiquiti WiFiStation 802.11n [Atheros AR9271]

At Ubiquiti forums is said that it works out of the box on Kubuntu 11.04 so I suposed it would work at 11.10 too

I see the ar9271.fw file at /lib/firmware but the device is not recognized

If I boot with Wifiway live listro the device works perfectly

Only nvidia drivers are listed.
I have both linux-firmware-nonfree & linux-firmware instaled and updated.
