The best I could find, is a Windows 8 driver for the 9280.

The hardware (Atheros single chip AR9280) appears to have been released in 2010
.
This should yield a PDF file.

It's hard to believe it is out of support already. This claims to be
a Win8 driver, but it might actually be based on older content.

Qualcomm bought Atheros. And Qualcomm does not deliver
drivers to end-users.
Give the contents of that ZIP a try. Unzip the files into
a folder. Using Device Manager, pretend to update the device,
and point it at the INF files, and see if Device Manager
is "interested" in the two INF files. I don't know why
there are two INFs, so you may end up trying them one
at a time. While they could be "layers" to the protocol
stack, I can't tell by looking at the INF files.
