Can't install driver on Ubuntu 16.04

[denis-galas]

Hello, First of all thanks for good drivers. But unfortunately I met an issue with it. After updates on ubuntu 16.04 my wifi just disappeared. I tried to reinstall driver, usually it helps after ubuntu updates but not this time. This time I'm getting this error while installation:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'mt7630e': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Kernel version is 4.4.0-57-generic. Hope you'll be able to fix it soon, because life without wifi is much harder)

Thank you.

[kprkpr]

Im not using same driver, but I had similar problem as you, and I solved it doing a "sudo modprobe cfg80211" before modprobing the wifi driver (In my case was a 7612u).. Maybe is a "new" dependency in newer kernels?

Try to: sudo modprobe cfg80211 sudo modprobe mt7630e

[denis-galas]

Thanks for answer. But it didn't help me because when I'm running sudo modprobe cfg80211, I'm getting this: modprobe: FATAL: Module cfg80211 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-57-generic

I'm looking how to install it, but still didn't found any working solution

[neurobin]

Did you run the uninstall script before installing again:

sudo ./uninstall
sudo make clean #if you are running from the same source

N.B: I am on Xubuntu 16.04 with 4.4.0-57-generic, no problem so far, wifi and bluetooth both are wroking...

[denis-galas]

yes, I did this. Didn't help me

[neurobin]

How about a reinstall from freshly downloaded source:

sudo ./uninstall #must use sudo and must run this uninstall command
sudo ./install

[denis-galas]

It's most recent version. Here is latest commit: commit 35f9a53f6b6d54469fa4fe049ac278f0325d50f7 Author: Md Jahidul Hamid jahidulhamid@yahoo.com Date: Tue Oct 11 15:11:25 2016 +0600

fix indentation and update driver version

[neurobin]

Just updated the uninstall script.

[denis-galas]

Unfortunately same

[neurobin]

Hmm, weird. I am on a same system as you, yet I can't reproduce this problem...

[denis-galas]

Check if you have latest updates of Ubuntu. I have this problem only after last update

[evenfrost]

Got the same error with exact same config after updating Ubuntu.

sudo ./uninstall
sudo make clean
sudo ./install

solved the issue, thanks.

[neurobin]

@evenfrost It should. Though you don't need the make clean anymore, it's included in the uninstall (latest) script.

[denis-galas]

I still have this issue and can't find any solution. sudo ./uninstall sudo ./install doesn't help me

[evenfrost]

@denis-galas Follow this exact order:

sudo ./uninstall
sudo make clean
sudo ./install

It is make clean that helped me to fix this issue.

[j1cs]

Clone the repo again and run the code previously mentioned

sudo ./uninstall
sudo make clean
sudo ./install

[denis-galas]

Thank you very much. I finally have wifi on my laptop!
