Dear Developers,
An AR9271 Wi-Fi USB dongle doesn't work neither with firmware-ath9k-htc
nor firmware-atheros on Raspberry Pi 2B:

I have tried the both images:
https://raspi.debian.net/tested/20230102_raspi_2_bullseye.img.xz
https://raspi.debian.net/tested/20231109_raspi_2_bookworm.img.xz
On RaspiOS Bullseye it works.
Kind Regards,
John

Is there possibly some device tree overlay in RaspiOS?
Have you tried building the firmware yourself - https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware?
All the very best, as ever,

Which driver is used on RaspiOS? Does the dongle work on Debian machines?

Hello Uwe,
The log is from firmware-atheros.
On RaspiOS it works with firmware-ath9k-htc and firmware-atheros.
On Debian amd64 machine it works.
This is from /bootfs/overlays/README of RaspiOS:
> Name: dwc-otg
> Info: Selects the dwc_otg USB controller driver which has fiq support. This
> is the default on all except the Pi Zero which defaults to dwc2.

Could it be due to this line from the log?:
>> Dec 30 17:56:42 rpi2-20230102 kernel: [ 51.636643] usb 1-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc2
