Can you provide the information requested in "Please read before you post"

Also provide details of what happens when you try and connect with xbian-config - Kodi and ssh versions.

Try this instead, it seems you are using the one for an older kernel. You have 3.18.7, you tried installing one for 3.18.6
cd /tmp
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67643651/mt7601_3.18.7-v7.tar.gz
sudo tar xf mt7601_3.18.7-v7.tar.gz -C /
sudo depmod 3.18.7-v7+
sudo reboot

Hi,
I'm almost on the same situation my kernel is the 4.1.6+ and the usb dongle is one with the following lsusb -vvv:
I download the linux headers for the 4.1.6+ and the proper mt7610u driver for that version (I belive), but when installing the module it gives and error possiblie due to the Module.symvers file that I had to download becaouse I coundnt find the one from xbian.

Anyway dont you have an allready compiled module for this one?


I'll keep trying to compile it my self but for the moment I dont have any success.

Thank you very much


PS: The kernell 4.2 should have this driver include on the relase I did read some where... (INTERNET IS SO BAST Wink )
