Module will be built and packed successfully into kernel .deb file. Tomorrow after some more tests I'll commit changes and build new kernel packages

ok... so I decided to rebuild, and it only took me about 8 hours to figure out why the hell mt7650u_sta.ko already existed.. lol. The XBian_2016.02.21_rpi2.img.gz includes the module already. But it doesn't work. Even after editing "/etc/network/interfaces" and "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" with the required info, it still shows ra0's ESSID as blank:

Code:
xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo iwconfig
[sudo] password for xbian:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

I finally got it going again by rebuilding with the 2016.02.14 release, making sure not to upgrade or update anything along the way. I did notice that for some reason, I couldn't get ra0 to connect unless I had wlan0 connected as well.. just to select the connection point, then to enter the passkey. After that, I removed the wlan0 adaptor and rebooted. Ra0 took over from there. I couldn't even scan on ra0 without wlan0 being connected.. it would just open and close the notification box immediately, without grabbing a list of networks. With wlan0 connected, I could then select my network on ra0. Very strange. But with your release... if I try to scan on ra0 by itself, it opens and closes immediately, just like my build. But when I try to scan on ra0 with wlan0 connected as well.. it starts to scan, then kodi reboots.. not the pi itself, just kodi goes black, then resets to the main menu screen.

Either I've done something wrong, forgotten something, or something's buggy with your release. Sorry. Tongue


btw... thanks for doing that to begin with. The guys at OpenELEC just say "your on your own". Tongue

cheers.

Yeah, it's a good question why it won't work Huh

(in the kernel package I've build there is no /etc/Wireless/..., maybe this is one reason)

But it's usually hard building some software packages without having the hardware Confused

Yeah, I can definitely understand that. Just because something compiles without errors, doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work with the hardware. Tongue

At one point, I exited to the shell screen, then tried "/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet (my ip) up" as the source's readme suggested, but it kept telling me operation not permitted. Not that the ip was wrong, just that I didn't have permission.

Did you use the source I linked in my steps, or did you come across that 64-bit source from the ubuntu user on github?

Code:
git clone https://bitbucket.org/sanrath/mediatek_mt7610u_sta_driver_linux-64bit.git

https://bitbucket.org/sanrath/mediatek_mt7610u_sta_driver_linux-64bit

The 64-bit source compiled, but the module wouldn't load.. but that was before I installed the headers. I should try it again. Tongue

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000) - Nachteule - 24th Feb, 2016 12:06 PM

This source address I used first. And the module was loading properly. But without hardware I was not able do do more tests.

(you can see it at my commit, commented source address) https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-kernel/commit/9a78f497edd4c4f74ff096f16d9a3815f9563aad

Yes, I think you should try again RolleyesShy

So.. I screwed up? Tongue I need to pick up another sd card for testing.. give me a couple days.

I haven't tested it yet, but I think I know the issue.. I'm guessing you built the module, then built it into the kernel.. manually, where as an actual install, ie: "make install", would also copy "RT2870STA.dat" to "/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/". The mt7650u_sta.ko can't find "/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA".

MORE INFORMATION
================================================================================​=
If you want for rt2870 driver to auto-load at boot time:
A) choose ra0 for first RT2870 WLAN card, ra1 for second RT2870 WLAN card, etc.
  
B) create(edit) 'ifcfg-ra0' file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/,      
   edit( or add the line) in /etc/modules.conf:
       alias ra0 rt2870sta
  
C) edit(create) the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ra0  
   DEVICE='ra0'
   ONBOOT='yes'    


NOTE:
   if you use dhcp, add this line too .
    BOOTPROTO='dhcp'

*D) To ease the Default Gateway setting,
    add the line
    GATEWAY=x.x.x.x  
    in /etc/sysconfig/network
  
=======================================================================
Dongle/Clone Features:
======================
A) Dongle mode:
       Provides a 1-to-N MAC address mapping mechanism such that more than one PC behind the STA
       can transparently connect to the AP.

B) Clone mode:
    Provides a 1-to-1 MAC address mapping mechanism.
    STA can use own MAC as SA MAC or
            use user desired MAC as SA MAC or
            use source MAC of first packet coming from wired device as SA MAC.
    NOTE: In this mode, only the PC who own the specified MAC can connect to the AP.


C) Hybrid mode(Dongle+Clone):
    Provides a 1-to-N MAC address mapping mechanism such that more than one PC behind the STA
       can transparently connect to the AP.
    STA can use own MAC as SA MAC or
            use user desired MAC as SA MAC or
            use source MAC of first packet coming from wired device as SA MAC.

D) Please refer to "Config STA to link as dongle mode..." in iwpriv_usage.txt for releated commands.


I just thought of something... I'm wondering if I insmod'd the wrong module, and maybe that's why I'm only getting a single band instead of 2. The readme says to insmod rt2870sta.ko, while I did mt7650u_sta.ko instead... the build produced both. Doing "modprobe rt2870sta" replies fatal, so I guess it didn't get built in.

I think I have some more testing to do.. lol.



edit:

Hmm.. seems I was wrong about it producing a rt2870sta.ko as well as the mt7650u_sta.ko. At least not the Myria-de source.

ok... just did a fresh install of your XBian_2016.02.21_rpi2.img.gz.....

Network says the device is available, but as soon as you select to scan available networks, it starts and stops just as fast. Just like before. I then connected my Tenda device so I could ssh into xbian...

Code:
$ sudo -s
$ cd etc
$ mkdir Wireless
$ cd Wireless
$ mkdir RT2870STA
$ cp (wherever it is)/RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA

$ nano /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto ra0
allow-hotplug ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

$ nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="YOURWIFINAME"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="YOURPASSWORD"
}


$ reboot

After that, it says ra0 is up, no configuring to do.

I just realized I forgot something in my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf..

I have..

Code:
network={
        ssid="YOURWIFINAME"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="YOURPASSWORD"
}

I forgot the...
Code:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

... at the beginning of the file. Whoops. I'll fix it and see what happens. Should still be the same I guess.


So I guess adding some instructions to the end user to configure a few files and they should be ok.

btw... reading the source file, and it says it can be configured for "either" wpa_supplicant "or" networkmanager. One of the mods at openelec just got it going for me.. he modified it to use networkmanager. Still only does 2.4g though. There's a source uploaded to github that apparently does both 2.4g and 5g "out of the box".. but I couldn't get it to compile... no target for Linux or something. Blah. Tongue

Code:
git clone https://github.com/xtknight/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes.git



cheers

Sounds great, you found a (very very) new source address Smile

Will try to build the driver from this source later and if I have succes,, I´ll build and upload a new kernel package

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000) - Nachteule - 28th Feb, 2016 04:31 AM

So, tried to build 'new' driver. Got same compile error. Sad

A little bit googleing tells me that this source does not support kernel 4.x, because some definitions from kernel 3.x tree has been vanished (the fucking kernel guys always change things they should not do Angry)

Opened an issue on github

lol... figures. Thanks for trying. Smile

The source compiled successfully if you disable CFG8011 support in file os/linux/config.mk
You only have to set HAS_CFG80211_SUPPORT=n

Maybe it helps

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000) - Nachteule - 28th Feb, 2016 10:21 AM

@greenbag
Start your engine -- the issue has been fixed and my build runs successfully Smile
Now you can compile with CFG8011 support and test

I'll give that a shot. Smile

The issue with the other sources, is...

Code:
[    8.674537] Read file "/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat" failed(errCode=-1)!

Hopefully this fixes that.


I'll give it a shot right now.

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000) - greenbag - 28th Feb, 2016 06:36 PM

I see you already uploaded it.. the installer's downloading it right now. Tongue

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000) - greenbag - 28th Feb, 2016 07:55 PM

nope...

Code:
8.694648] Read file "/etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat" failed(errCode=-1)!

And I even specified my 5G ssid in the wpa_supplicant.conf.. the passkeys are the same, it's just the "-5G" at the end of the 5G link that's any different.

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="YOURWIFINAME-5G"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="YOURPASSWORD"
}


It showed ra0 as "dormant" in XBian network config using the 5G ssid. The 2.4G ssid is listed out of the box, but not the 5G. I'm guessing it's not being seen. Do I have to do anything else to bring it up?
