Yasha,
A quick google found this:
http://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WDN4800
If you have the same vendor/device ID, odds are the ath9k driver will do
the trick.
I'm guessing the "TC" was a typo and you have a "TL".
Product page here:
http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=1683&model=TL-WDN4800
If you can't find a working ath9k for it, I suggest contacting the
ELrepo group to get a package built if possible. They already have an
ath9k_htc, not sure what the htc stands for though.
