Subject: Can't load wifi adapter firmware

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a TL-WN722N usb wifi adapter.
According to the Linux Wireless site and my own experience using this 
card
in gentoo, all I need to do is turn on these kernel options:

CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m

Intead of =m I putted y

And download the firmware and put it on the firmware folder of my 
distro.
As I do in gentoo I'm putting the firmware in /lib/firmware, but 
sabotage fails
to load it.
The error I get are:

~ # dmesg | grep firmware
[    3.236964} usb 3-3: ath9k_htc: failed to get firmware htc_9271.fw

~ # dmesg | grep ath9k
[    1.564630] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath9k_htc
[    3.236923] usb 3-3: ath9k_htc: Firmware htc_9271.fw requested
[    3.236964] usb 3-3: ath9k_htc: Failed to get firmware htc_9271.fw
[    3.879367] usb 3-3: ath9k_htc: USB layer deinitialized

The content of /lib/firmware

~ # ls /lib/firmware
htc_7010.fw htc_9271.fw
