MediaTek MT7630E WiFi and Bluetooth drivers

Official MediaTek MT7630E driver with various fixes and clean-ups. This driver should work for any recent kernel.

Instructions

This driver has been modified to work as a single module therefore some of the official instructions (from ReadMe) will not work. Before compilation make sure you have all the packages required by your distro to build modules installed, then proceed as follows:

First clone the repo:

git clone git@github.com:kuba-moo/mt7630e.git
cd mt7630e

Build the drivers:

make

If build was successful there should be two modules present: rt2x00/mt7630e.ko and btloader/mt76xx.ko. To install firmware and drivers you need to be root or use sudo -s:

sudo -s make install

Load the drivers:

sudo modprobe mt7630e
sudo modprobe mt76xx

Drivers should be automatically loaded after reboot.

You can uninstall drivers and firmware by running:

cd path_to_mt7630e/
sudo -s make uninstall

You can also use the driver without installing it. First copy the firmware:

sudo cp -v firmware/*/* /lib/firmware/

then load the drivers manually:

sudo modprobe rt2800pci
sudo insmod ./rt2x00/mt7630e.ko
sudo insmod ./btloader/mt76xx.ko

Note: loading rt2800pci will make sure all required modules are present before you load the proper driver. You can modprobe -r rt2800pci to remove all unnecessary modules after mt7630e was loaded.

It is possible to enable dynamic module build with dkms package:

sudo make dkms

Drivers will be automatically rebuild for every new kernel update

For original instructions see ReadMe.
