Debian - Switch back to the integrated wifi
I use Debian 8 and tonight I tried to switch between the integrated wifi and an wifi usb key using online tutorial. It worked. I did this just to see if wireless connection was better, but it isn't.
Now I would like to switch back to my integrated wifi... I'm using an Acer Aspire 7715. I used "modprobe mt7601Usta" as last command to install/use the wifi usb key, but how can I switch/reinstall (to) my integrated wifi now ? I tried to find the name of my wifi module, using "sudo lshw -C network". I got "AR928X" as wireless product.

According to the debian wiki the Qualcomm Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter use the ath9k driver. It is included in the linux kernel.
To unload the driver use:
sudo modprobe -rv ath9k
or
sudo rmmod ath9k
To load the driver use:
sudo modprobe -v ath9k
To unload the driver of your USB wifi adapter you can use modprobe -rv mt7601Usta (the best command the -v = verbose) or the rmmod mt7601Usta command.

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I got : insmod /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ath9k': Invalid argument after using "sudo modprobe -v ath9k".
