You can download it in pdf format for free & then please order the paper
version afterwards.

https://help.ubuntu.com/
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/index.html
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/switching/index.html
https://help.ubuntu.com/community

All of the help.ubuntu.com's can be searched using standard google
search context.

In https://help.ubuntu.com/community type atheros in the search box.
That will lead you to basic guidance for drivers etc:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros. However, I'm
not sure that last is the most helpful... I'd check the advise others
with the same hardware have to offer here on the list first.

Oh, and Welcome to Ubuntu land! :-)
