Here is mt7601u driver for the kernel 3.12.26+ #702
How to install:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67643651/mt7601_3.12.26_702.tar.gz
sudo tar xf mt7601_3.12.26_702.tar.gz -C /
sudo depmod -a
sudo reboot

Note: the binary itself is the same as of version 3.12.25+ #701, the only difference is the module path.

Thanks for the updated modules. Seems raspbmc has a patched kernel (extra modules) compared to raspbian and my TVHeadend has trouble with the latest kernel.

Here is 3.0.0.4 mt7601u module compiled for 3.12.22+. It is working fine on my raspberry pi (256mb ram) but only with external usb power. The chip comes with TP-LINK TL-WN727N

I followed the steps by llad in this post of the thread except for the Module.symvers file

You have to be very careful at downloading exactly the version you need, otherwise the module will compile but not work. In order to get the one you need go on github

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... le.symvers

click "history" and download the one that matches your kernel version (in my case 3.12.22)

Enjoy

Hi to all.
I installed the MT7601Usta driver on 3.12.22+ and it works fine but when I use OPENELEC no chances to have my wifi dongle running: I can't configure my network. May it depend because MT7601 uses ra0 instead of wlan0?
Any idea for solving that issue? thanks in advance.

How did you install the driver in OpenElec ? The driver in this thread is aimed at Raspbian Wheezy

[albag57]

Thanks Fruitoftheloom,
no I installed the driver on Debian and I thought it should have been fine for OPENELEC too. Honestly I have not idea about the way for installing it in OPENELEC: it seems the system is closed, no chance in using terminal for giving commands.
Do you know some solution?
Ciao.

The Linux Kernel has support for the Ralink RT5370 and Realtek RTL8188CU / CUS chipset and the later I use as it works in all Linux Distro's including OpenElec without additional drivers:

[albag57]

I follow your suggestion. Thanks

I retried do compile my WLAN driver for about 7 times.
Different instructions - same result.

Kernel Panic after restart...

And now I figured out what the problem was.
I guess all these instructions are fine and will work.

I needed a powered USB hub...
And now everything is working fine.

Hi, I have followed this instruction for the September update of raspbian, but I still can't get wifi config to detect the dongle after reboot.

Hi, I have followed this instruction for the September update of raspbian, but I still can't get wifi config to detect the dongle after reboot.

You should modify /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicant.conf to get it work.

First, type ifconfig. You should see a new entry "ra0", if so, then modify that files as following (these are my config files configured as static IP address. You can change by your own):

/etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.33
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

allow-hotplug wlan0

iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet static
address 192.168.1.31
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

allow-hotplug ra0

iface ra0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface ra0 inet static
address 192.168.1.31
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

/etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
ssid=”SSID_WIFI_NETWORK”
psk=”PASSWORD”
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
}

You have to use your own SSID and Password.

Hope it helps.

hello guys! firstly, i want to thank alfonder for the awesome contribution on the compiled driver. i wasn't being able to compile it for my raspi (probably i was being dumb in some crucial point along the process), thanks for compiling it.

now, for my problem: i'm trying to use a mt7601 dongle in AP mode. is it possible? i tried the iw list command to assert AP capabilities, but it just gives me a "nl80211 not found" error. i went to research about it and discovered that it might be a driver issue. can anyone help me with this?

sudo depmod 3.12.28+

This works also with kernel 3.12.28+ #709
together with adding ra0 configuration to /etc/network/interfaces
Thanks !

[alfonder]

i'm trying to use a mt7601 dongle in AP mode. is it possible?

With this driver it is impossible. Ralink's STA-mode software package is freely distributed under the GPL license. But AP-mode package is closed-source commercial product under a certain license. So you don't get AP-enabled driver source unless you're Ralink's partner.

Do you have a driver for 3.12.31+ by any chance?

[5Forward]

do we have any chance to find driver for kernel 3.12.32+ ?

i've been looking for this since i updated my pi to 3.12.32+, thanks.
do you have any source of updated drivers ?

[alfonder]

do you have any source of updated drivers ?

The source is the same as for previous kernels. I just built it against the current kernel version.

Do you happen to have a driver for 148f:7601 on Raspbmc 3.12.31 #2 or is there another thread covering this?
