Can't install wifi driver in 12.04
1
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 with a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter inside. After an update the WiFi broke and I cannot seem to fix it. I tried to follow the steps from this thread where somebody has a similar problem to build the driver, but on make it gives me an error about redefinition of "kmalloc_array" even after make clean (I tried to build it previously in fact). The device is not hardware blocked, rfkill list outputs:
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
However, lshw -C network displays this as a result for the wifi adapter.

Please get a temporary wired ethernet connection, open a terminal and do:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-precise-generic
Detach the ethernet, reboot and let us hear your report.
