How can i revert sudo make install?

Question

How can I revert the following: (running Kubuntu 14.10)

This is what I did before my WiFi and LAN both got their untimely death.

I did a:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic build-essential

After that, I compiled and install the driver as follows -

Download the latest backported driver package from here
Copy the downloaded tar.bz2 package to your Ubuntu Desktop > Right-click > Extract here.

Open a terminal and run the following commands one-by-one:

cd Desktop/backports-3.18-rc1-1
make defconfig-ath9k
make
sudo make install

Note you may be able to use checkinstall instead. – Wilf Feb 23 '15 at 17:34 — Wilf, Feb 23 '15 at 17:34

sudo make uninstall

Reboot.
