I have a full height production sample mt7612e card that does not work in either Access Point or Client mode. Monitor mode does not work either (no packets received/transmitted). dmesg shows everything to be fine: [ 5.801993] mt76x2e 0000:2b:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 5.802122] mt76x2e 0000:2b:00.0: ASIC revision: 76120044 [ 6.466527] mt76x2e 0000:2b:00.0: ROM patch build: 20141115060606a [ 6.468999] mt76x2e 0000:2b:00.0: Firmware Version: 0.0.00 [ 6.469000] mt76x2e 0000:2b:00.0: Build: 1 [ 6.469001] mt76x2e 0000:2b:00.0: Build Time: 201507311614____ [ 6.496042] mt76x2e 0000:2b:00.0: Firmware running!
