can anyone help me out installing a atheros AR9462 on Ubuntu 16.04?

I've tried configuring /etc/network/interfaces, but that didn't seem to fix it.

UPDATED BELOW: My /etc/network/interfaces config looks like:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wireless-essid <my-wireless-sid-here>
        wireless-mode Managed
        wireless-key <my-wireless-psk-here>

(restart)

I have also tried:

auto wlp5s0
iface wlp5s0 inet dhcp
        wireless-essid <my-wireless-sid-here>
        wireless-mode Managed
        wireless-key <my-wireless-psk-here>

Whenever I tried to either configure and then do a sudo reboot to restart the machine....the Bluetooth always works, the wifi doesn't.

I test that my computer is recognizing the chip with: lspci | grep -i wlan0 - it comes up with:

wlan0 was renamed to wlp5s0 

If I try to pull up the wifi icon (in upper right corner of screen) - it never shows any available networks.

What may be the problem here? Thanks
