TP-LINK WN722N (ath9k driver) install on Ubuntu touch 15.04 (Nexus 10- Manta)

I've been through all the relevant threads on AskUbuntu and they are either outdated, conflicting and/or dont work.

My Nexus10 sees the atheros AR9271 device on Bus 001 USB but does not create an additional WLAN for it.(wlan0 is the normal integrated wifi) I assume I need the ath9k or ath9k_htc driver? I installed backports 4.4.2-1 and unzipped it. If I try to do a 'make' or 'make clean' I get:'your kernel headers are incomplete/not installed'. I've already got the latest version of build-essential. If I try to install 'firmware-atheros', it cannot find the package. I've been through several other things to no avail.

I've read the driver is installed with 15.x+ anyway, true? and if so how to install it? If someone could do a step-by-step wifi driver install for a U-touch or at least Ubuntu 15.x I'd be very very grateful.

I do not want to bridge the 722n, I want to use it instead of the integrated card. Not even there yet, but just in case it matters.
Thanks!
