This machine has only wifi connection, no wired to connect to Internet.
The worst thing is the native ath9k driver is failed, that means you won't have any resource to connect outside the world..... :(
Thus, here is what I have done for the solution (easy job) to get my wifi back to real life.
1. need a smart phone to share network with usb connection....:)
2. if not, then you may need to have any other same ubuntu 12.04.2 device to download all the packages, then copy to your system. (apt-get download package-name)
3. apt-get update (for updating your source list)
4. apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential
(for compiling driver later)
5. download the compat driver from the link below
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/
from the link, you need to find out the package name "compat-drivers-3.9-rc4-2-s.tar.bz2" and download to local.
6. extract file and enter the folder
7. sudo su (easier to do all jobs later)
8. ./scripts/driver-select ath9k
9. make;make install
10. you can reboot and get your wifi back now.

Hi,
I am so happy to discover your post. I've been looking around but couldn't find a case on v5-132.
I am a complete newbie and am trying to follow your steps to activating the wifi (undetected) and couldn't make it to work.
I managed to download the file you pointed at and have it downloaded to /home/Downloads and also have extracted it there.
Would you be kind to tell exactly the steps again ?
Thanks for helping a newbie!
As you said you already extract all the files, then......
ex. the folder which you have extracted to is /home/Downloads/atheros
1. cd /home/Downloads/atheros
2. sudo su -
3. ./scripts/driver-select ath9k
4. make;make install
5. reboot
I think that's all you need if we are in the same problem.
