i'm working on mt7601U driver
but i face some error
some of them fixed but this one is still showing in dmesg log
rt2870: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -1

RT2870 is confirmed working by others.

This module only provides firmware files used by a few adapters. The kernel should have the driver. XDA will probably have custom kernels for your device.

Is there any way to add mt7601u support in kernel 3.18?

[Shubhamvis98]

And I know that this module only provides the firmware files
I compiled Ralink drivers support and now I have a working external adapter

But I want to know, does mt7601u works or not in kernel 3.18 or 3.4 kernels

[rithvikvibhu]

Assuming you're using this driver https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7601u.

This issue kuba-moo/mt7601u#8 says that a minimum of 3.19 is needed.

I used this but it fails
Then I used vendor's driver
It successfully compiled and the kernel module is loaded
But then is asks for eeprom.bin (in dmesg log)
I can't find any file named eeprom

[rithvikvibhu]

The vendor's driver is from 2013 and it's said doesn't work well with newer kernels. I don't know much about this chipset driver, maybe try other ones like this one https://github.com/muratdemirtas/MT7601u

[Shubhamvis98]

OK, let me try this
