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

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)
Yeah, it's a good question why it won't work
(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 |

(24th Feb, 2016 08:57 AM)Nachteule Wrote: Yeah, it's a good question why it won't work Yeah, I can definitely understand that. Just because something compiles without errors, doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work with the hardware. 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 The 64-bit source compiled, but the module wouldn't load.. but that was before I installed the headers. I should try it again. |

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 |

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) Code: * README 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. |

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)
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 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={ I forgot the... Code: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev ... 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. Code: git clone https://github.com/xtknight/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes.git cheers |

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)
Sounds great, you found a (very very) new source address
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)
So, tried to build 'new' driver. Got same compile error.
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 ) Opened an issue on github |

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)
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 |

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

RE: trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)
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 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? |
