Hi Joss
I’m no expert on these things, and what I’m about to suggest might seem a little simplistic and obvious, but you could start with the basics to try to eliminate any install errors that may have occurred and could be causing the problem.
To start with, did you download the ISO correctly and verify the MD5sum and the media for integrity before installing?
Next, if you have a mind to re-install your system, run LL 4.0 live and connect to your network before clicking to install your system? If your wifi isn’t recognized in the live system, you could try connecting to your router via an Ethernet cable anyway and then click to install.
The logic of the above is that as your system installs it will detect your hardware, including your Atheros AR9287 chipset, and then upon re-booting your newly installed system may connect to your wifi correctly as a result.
Apologies if you’ve tried all of the above, and for stating the obvious.
Good Luck!
