OK, further to previous response (which can now be ignored), I used the
apt-get procedures above, and it downloaded something...
Nope; the Atheros AR9565 is still not seen. Not in "ifconfig", not in
"dmesg".
"lspci -v" however says:

Sigh... Looks like I'll have to sell this thing, or swap it for an
equivalent lapdog that works with Debian...
