trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)

[Nachteule]

What about the module loaded?

If module is not loaded, you could try

Terminal

sudo modprobe mt7610u_sta

and see what happens

PS. to have udev rename the interface "ra0" into "wlan0" at boot, run below one and replace "a0:b1:c2:d3:e4:f5" with the MAC address of the card.
The MAC address is displayed when you run "ip link show ra0".
This works for almost any network card that you want to rename.

Code:

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a0:b1:c2:d3:e4:f5", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

sudo reboot

Tried this months ago, but for this wlan device I had no success

[TheDutypaid]

Still no luck with this dongle, I'm wondering if I could have mucked something up, setting up WiFi with one dongle and then turning it all back on later with another dongle?

Here are some information, if I can be of help?

If there is anything else you want to see please say.

I still do not know if module mt7610u_sta is loaded or not?

see this post and this post

[TheDutypaid]

Code:

sudo modprobe mt7610u_sta

just asks for password and goes back to "xbian@xbian ~ $"

I ran

Code:

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a0:b1:c2:d3:e4:f5", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

with a reboot and nothing happened.

Just ran

Code:

sudo lshw

and got

Terminal

*-usb:1 UNCLAIMED
description: Generic USB device
product: 802.11 n WLAN

bus info: usb@1:1.3

So it does see the device but does not want to use it?

Please give me output of

Thanks, you're confusing me

Module mt7601u is being loaded and active, seems you do not have a mt7610u wlan usb dongle

Your output of lsusb -v is quite unreadable, could you please add output of lsusb for the sake of completeness

Seems this thread is completely wrong for your issue

[TheDutypaid]

I had the output of lsusb noted down.

Ok, so you are absolutely wrong here

Please open new thread or continue here

Btw, a quick google session found possible reason for your issue, but I do not post it here because of wrong thread

Btw, should not be a problem to add this driver to our kernel

It gives a fatal panic saying it can't find it. I think it's supposed to be sudo modprobe mt7610Usta, as that's what's needed for the mt7601u chip. Neither work.

I'm coming from openelec, basically because it's so damn hard to add anything to the root system unless you compile it into the entire image. Not as easy as a knoppix remaster though. And osmc's too buggy for me. So.. I came upon xbian. So far I like it.. I can install things. It also looks like it has perl, or at least I can install it. I need that for zap2xml.

You are right. I am also able to install things
