This is a tentative fix for a long-standing issue [1] with MT7601U devices. In my case, this is what I see in the dmesg when I plug the device in: [ 660.810386] usb 1-7: new high-speed USB device number 119 using ehci-pci [ 661.031390] usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=148f, idProduct=7601, bcdDevice= 0.00 [ 661.031400] usb 1-7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 661.031404] usb 1-7: Product: 802.11 n WLAN [ 661.031408] usb 1-7: Manufacturer: MediaTek [ 661.031411] usb 1-7: SerialNumber: 1.0 [ 661.200379] usb 1-7: reset high-speed USB device number 119 using ehci-pci [ 661.403137] mt7601u 1-7:1.0: ASIC revision: 76010001 MAC revision: 76010500 [ 661.404566] mt7601u 1-7:1.0: Firmware Version: 0.1.00 Build: 7640 Build time: 201302052146____ [ 661.828765] mt7601u 1-7:1.0: EEPROM ver:0d fae:00 [ 662.005518] mt7601u 1-7:1.0: Error: MCU resp urb failed:-71 [ 662.005525] mt7601u 1-7:1.0: Error: MCU resp evt:0 seq:5-4!

The device never comes up. Turns out, this issue has been narrowed down to a possible calibration problem [2]. Stanislaw repeatedly asked if disabling DPD calibration only (keeping the RXIQ calibration) would fix the problem, but nobody seems to have paid attention. :) Additionally, he asked for contents of /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mt7601u/eeprom_param, so here they are: RF freq offset: 5f RSSI offset: 0 0 Reference temp: f9 LNA gain: 0 Reg channels: 1-14 Per rate power: raw:05 bw20:05 bw40:05 raw:05 bw20:05 bw40:05 raw:03 bw20:03 bw40:03 raw:03 bw20:03 bw40:03 raw:04 bw20:04 bw40:04 raw:00 bw20:00 bw40:00 raw:00 bw20:00 bw40:00 raw:00 bw20:00 bw40:00 raw:02 bw20:02 bw40:02 raw:00 bw20:00 bw40:00 Per channel power: tx_power ch1:0c ch2:0c tx_power ch3:0b ch4:0b tx_power ch5:0a ch6:0a tx_power ch7:0a ch8:0a tx_power ch9:0a ch10:0a tx_power ch11:0a ch12:0a tx_power ch13:0a ch14:0a The attached patch fixes the driver for me. Sending as RFC because this will probably warrant some kind of quirk to be fixed correctly. Besides, there's an additional DPD calibration in mt7601u_temp_comp, which I haven't touched, since it seems a bit more convoluted. The driver works for me regardless (I've sent this email through one of my MT7601U adapters).
