Can't get ra0 #30

I cross compiled it for Freescale VF50 running Angstrom Kernel 4.0.5. It went just fine. I copied the module and loaded with insmod after copying firmware .BIN to path as indicated. Messages I got were exactly as expected. There is only one warning about EEPROM 0x0d which is said not a big deal in step by step. After all module is loaded (checking with lsmod) but there is no ra0/wlan0/wifi0 or any new interface by checking with ifconfig.

Any tips?

Being more precise, that is what I get from dmesg after loading module.

[ 218.886019] usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ci_hdrc [ 219.041130] mt7601u 1-1:1.0: ASIC revision: 76010001 MAC revision: 76010500 [ 219.117774] mt7601u 1-1:1.0: Warning: unsupported EEPROM version 0d [ 219.124148] mt7601u 1-1:1.0: EEPROM ver:0d fae:00 [ 219.423482] ieee80211 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht' [ 219.478250] usbcore: registered new interface driver mt7601u

Should be ok, right? Why can't I see ra0 then?

I found out what was going on. rfkill was blocking it. I hope it is useful for someone in the future.

Cool. I'm closing the bug then.
