Add support for 4.5 kernel

[zapashcanon]

Hi,

I just installed Debian Testing on a friend's computer, wifi wasn't working, I found this driver, but while trying to install it, I ran into some troubles, saying some files were not found.

So, I think it's because 4.5 kernel is not supported yet, thus, I would like to know if you could add support for 4.5 kernel ?

If you think it's not related to the kernel version, I can give you the exact error I had.

Cheers.

I can't do anything If I don't know the exact error messages. So please do post them here.

Working fine here with 4.5.x. ASAIR 'make clean" may be required when changing major kernel version, ie 4.4.x to 4.5.x. Once performed, I usually run "bash ./install".

For the record the above recipe doesn't seem to work for 4.6.x kernel with the latest mt7630e release.

Thks 4 ur attention.

Does your bluetooth also work in 4.5 ? It is broken for me, even with the modified lsusb.

@tobiasBora Sorry haven't taken the time yet to patch my kernel despite my intention to do it in the future. Thks 4 the idea of keeping a 4.4.0 around as it seems to be BT 'ready'.

Cheers

Hum it's pretty strange, now bluetooth works for me... Maybe I didn't reboot and it's required...

Hi,

Sorry for responding late, I didn't have acces to this computer as it's not mine. My friend just sent me the output of the install script:

@Sancho-Panza That's not caused by mt7630e driver. your friends' system doesn't have the kernel module building environment setup properly. Tell him to install kernel headers first and try again.

[zapashcanon]

Yep', my bad, you're right. After installing kernel headers it works fine ! I thought I did it, sorry for this...
