To johnausten13,
Thank you for your reply. I do believe that it is the Atheros Chipset, that's the name that is displayed when I chose which wifi card I want to use to connect to the internet (I bought it a bit more than 6 years ago).
I did run the commands that you suggested though, the first 3 went ok,

I tried to look manually for such a folder but couldn't find it.
Please keep in mind that I am rather new to linux. ^^
Thanks for your help.
