trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)

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".


From /mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/README_STA_usb (step #5)

=======================================================================
Build Instructions:  
====================

1> $tar -xvzf DPB_RT2870_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x.tgz
    go to "./DPB_RT2870_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x" directory.
    
2> In Makefile
     set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX"
     define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC
     modify to meet your need.

3> In os/linux/config.mk
    define the GCC and LD of the target machine
    define the compiler flags CFLAGS
    modify to meet your need.
    ** Build for being controlled by NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant wext functions
       Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'.
       => #>cd wpa_supplicant-x.x
       => #>./wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d
    ** Build for being controlled by WpaSupplicant with Ralink Driver
       Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n'.
       => #>cd wpa_supplicant-0.5.7
       => #>./wpa_supplicant -Dralink -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d

4> $make
    # compile driver source code
    # To fix "error: too few arguments to function ¡¥iwe_stream_add_event"
      => $patch -i os/linux/sta_ioctl.c.patch os/linux/sta_ioctl.c

5> $cp RT2870STA.dat  /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
    
6> load driver, go to "os/linux/" directory.
    #[kernel 2.4]
    #    $/sbin/insmod rt2870sta.o
    #    $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up
        
    #[kernel 2.6]
    #    $/sbin/insmod rt2870sta.ko
    #    $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up

7> unload driver    
    $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 down
    $/sbin/rmmod rt2870sta
    
=======================================================================
CONFIGURATION:  
====================
RT2870 driver can be configured via following interfaces,
i.e. (i)"iwconfig" command, (ii)"iwpriv" command, (iii) configuration file

i)  iwconfig comes with kernel.  
ii) iwpriv usage, please refer to file "iwpriv_usage.txt" for details.
iii)modify configuration file "RT2870STA.dat" in /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat.
          
Configuration File : RT2870STA.dat
---------------------------------------
# Copy this file to /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
# This file is a binary file and will be read on loading rt.o module.
#
# Use "vi RT2870STA.dat" to modify settings according to your need.
#
# 1.) set NetworkType to "Adhoc" for using Adhoc-mode, otherwise using Infrastructure
# 2.) set Channel to "0" for auto-select on Infrastructure mode
# 3.) set SSID for connecting to your Accss-point.
# 4.) AuthMode can be "WEPAUTO", "OPEN", "SHARED", "WPAPSK", "WPA2PSK", "WPANONE"
# 5.) EncrypType can be "NONE", "WEP", "TKIP", "AES"
# for more information refer to the Readme file.
#
#The word of "Default" must not be removed

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.
