AFAIK MediaTek no longer provides open source drivers for this device, I don't have any info on how to fix this...
@ars0 if you are referring to the revision 4 of this device it still works on kernel 4.4.0
@stralex7 I am probably referring to another revision because the device does not work on 4.4.0. How do I find out revision of the device?
@ars0 Sorry, for misleading you, it really just works on my particular installation with 4.4.0, i tried another PC and it failed with the same error.
P.S. The version is written on the sticker new the S/N, mine says V4.0
FWIW that's a TP-Link board version sticker, only indirectly related to the chip itself: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN727N_v4 Please do complain to MediaTek, the more people complain the more likely they are to help.
I too am having this same issue. "Warning: unsupported EEPROM version 0d" is one error I get.
I have solve the same problem, just see the latest pull requests i pushed. or just commit the error you occured in usb.c .and the head file should the same to my mt7691.h.
I repaire this on my pull request 。 or you can just add follow code to you proj in mt7601u.h。 //just for kali 2018.2 kernel version >4.2
and commit this code in usb.c 128 line. //mt7601u_vendor_request(dev, MT_VEND_DEV_MODE, USB_DIR_OUT,MT_VEND_DEV_MODE_RESET, 0, NULL, 0);
so enjoy. but the drive have a bug , it is not so good,so if you want a short delay in ping echo. if i have time,i will repaire it ,later.
To fix go into mcu.c and comment line 450 // mt7601u_vendor_reset(dev); This same issue is in the kernel module in kernels 4.15 and newer
I guess I have a newer version of the adapter. It is detected as a virtual CD first, and after that (depending on which Linux distro/version you are running) you can switch it to the wifi adapter mode, or it would be switched automatically by the OS.
The driver would not initialize the device to a working state.
The embedded virtual CD contains a Windows driver. I found the newer firmware in the Windows driver: FW_7662.bin (79216 bytes). Tried loading that firmware, but the result is just the same:
I guess that this is the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1716301?comments=all
