Simulating ath9k wireless driver

I am making new question for this, because I doubt anyone is making this kind of request.
For my diploma thesis, I want Mininet-Wifi for simulating SDN network, get to cooperate with another approach to SDN, namely Odin framework.
Mininet-Wifi is using Linux 802.11 SoftMAC wireless drivers and mac80211_hwsim wireless simulation drivers in its access points. It's like a real network, but simulated using what already comes with Linux, for minimal trouble for anyone, that wants to use this software.
To get Mininet-Wifi and Odin cooperate, I need to use Qualcomm Atheros wireless adapter specifically ath9k driver. My computer sadly, is using Intel adapter, in that case, I cannot install this driver and use it as native driver, at least I don't know how, and not to ruin my wireless communications, because I already done that yesterday. I fixed that by the way, so that's not the problem here.



To sum it up, I need to install and get the mac80211_hwsim to simulate Atheros adapter, or at least somehow get ath9k driver to work there. If there is any other option, to "simulate" ath9k driver, that would be option as well, but so far using real Atheros adapter is impossible. I thought of using VirtualBox with specific OS, to get this to wrok, but I am leaving that as plan B. So far I need to figure out, with my little time, how to simulate ath9k driver, inside mac80211, to get the Odin to work. I am sorry if my knowledge is limited here, but I only recently discovered what I need to do, and the struggle great.



If you have any idea, how to do this, I would really appreciate it. However if anything is not clear, I will provide more information, but so far, I think this kinda wraps it up.



With regards,
Matej.
