Home Assistant OS is not related to Alpine Linux. Alpine is only used in the container images where Home Assistant Core and other components are running.

To add support for Qualcomm Atheros WiFi adapters changes to Home Assistant OS's buildroot code is needed.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I indeed tried to update Home Assistant OS. Following the documentation https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/blob/dev/Documentation/configuration.md, I created a pendrive with the file ath9k.conf just calling ath9k driver. I created it in the modules folder of the pendrive with the correct UNIX text formating without success. I don't know how to debug the issue to undertand if it is a problem of not having the module itself or an issue in the way I call it.

Driver for AR9462 (ath9k) is enabled in latest development builds, scheduled for release in 11.3.rc1.
