Trying to fix the MT7610U chipset driver by MediaTek so it's usable on modern Linux kernels and with nl80211/NetworkManager (and not completely breaking on old ones, maybe...)

Nothing Happens After Install #18

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS amd64 via a USB drive. I'm trying to get an Aukey WF-R3 adapter with the MT7610U MediaTek chipset to work.

I copy the source code to the desktop and then do exactly as the readme instructs. Am I missing something?

I tried both builds specified in the readme (the normal one as well as the DKMS one), and they seem to install without error, but then nothing happens.

If it seems to install, yet nothing shows up in the Network Manager, where should I look to find the problem?

I'll leave the terminal make and install output (for both Normal and DKMS builds) below.

It installs correctly, however when trying to do a

insmod mt7610u_sta.ko

you get the

Unknown symbol in module

Error as per ticket #32. You can't see the error as you probably haven't checked dmesg.

I had the same problem, and the message DKMS gave me[1] at the end and a SOF answer[2] gave me a good clue.

So the solution for me was to reinstall it with the --force option:

sudo dkms remove mt7610u_sta/1.0 --all
sudo dkms install --force mt7610u_sta/1.0

Good news! Module version 3.0.0.2 for mt7610u_sta.ko exactly matches what is already found in kernel 4.4.0-31-generic. DKMS will not replace this module. You may override by specifying --force.
