Driver for Mediatek MT7630E

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

In a recent E-mail interchange (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=140238255916367&w=2), I was made aware that this device is not currently being handled by any driver in the kernel, but that there was a GitHub repo at https://github.com/anthonywong/mt7630. That code modifies rt2800pci to operate the MT7630E, but it is quite outdated.

As a followup, I found such a device at a reasonable price on E-bay, and ordered it. It should arrive next week. I also was able to find the firmware in an RPM for SUSE SLE11, and a license allowing redistribution. Before I start modifying rt2800pci for this new device, I want to be assured that this modification is not currently being done by anyone in the rt2x00 project. There is too much to be done to duplicate effort.

For interested readers, I have modified the GitHub code to compile using the current wireless-testing kernel source. If there is sufficient interest, I could set up a new GH repo for it as an interim measure with conditional code allowing it to build on recent kernels (3.5+).

Thanks,

Larry
