I tried to compile and install manually a new version of compat wireless on my ubuntu 12.10, because i had a bit wifi problems. The problems aren't gone but now my internal wifi card (atheros ar9485) doesen't show (tried modprobe ath9k, no success), and i want to get back to like things was before. Used checkinstall and have tried dpkg -r compat-wireless but when i reeboot after the uninstall then i get no visible wifi connections (i have an usb dongle which uses rt2800 driver too which doesent show).

This problem sometimes happens because installing the new package replaces an old (or otherwise different) version, and uninstalling the new one leaves you without either.
Perhaps a previous version of compat-wireless was installed before you installed with checkinstall. If so, you should reinstall that. You can check whether or not this was the case by looking at /var/log/dpkg.log.
