There actually are such solutions available, e.g.:
https://wiki.debian.org/ath9k_htc
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/open-ath9k-htc-firmware
https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Firmware-ath9k-htc
https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware
No idea how well this hardware works, or how readily available it is.
