What didn't work?

After updating ubuntu wifi driver wasn't work as usual. I did the usual commads: sudo ./uninstall make clean sudo ./install

And the last one ended with the error message. I use the latest release of "release" branch. Thanks in advance.

Hello @shuadoc ,

Thank you for your response. I just did all described in the instructions, but unfortunately result still the same. I still see the same error message as before.

[denis-galas]

Hello,

Issue still there. Anybody have solution?

[jeremyb31]

denis-glass, what is the result for modinfo mt7630e | egrep 'file|vermagic'

[denis-galas]

I just tried all process of uninstall/install again and now it works. Looks like it was self-fixed after Ubuntu updates
