iMT7610U for Linux
Driver for 802.11ac USB Adapter with MT7610U chipset
Only STA Mode is supported, no AP.
Monitor mode is not tested.
At least v4.0 is needed to compile this module
sorry people with older kernels, the code is removed.
Currently tested on X86_64 platform(s) only,
cross compile possible, but not fully tested.
For compiling type
make
in source dir
For install the driver use
sudo insmod mt7610u.ko
To Unload driver you need to disconnect the device
If the driver fails building consult your distro how to
install the kernel sources and build an external module.
Questions about this will silently ignored !
They are plenty information around the web.
NOTES
The original driver is a mess and PITA
Both mt7610u and mt7612u can work with the
same driver.
Code which is missing in one driver, may found in the other driver.
i.e STA, AP, RSSI, LED handling stuff
BUGS
- can't unload driver, must disconnect device(s) first
- remove stupid endianess with device descriptors
TODO, in order of no appearance ;-)
- fix unloading driver
- do more function typesafe
- cross compile check with real hw on $target
- strip fw files and use kernel firmware load
- check for wrong typecasts
- remove/strip hardcoded
RT2870STA.dat - check for wrong variable sizes (driver was for 32bit)
- update to more USB-IDs
- check if monitor mode is working
- more cleanup and other stuff
- fix compile warnings
- misc. other stuff
