How to compile driver for Rasperry Pi?

[1522292358]

I bought a wireless network card with mt7601u chip.
But the most current RASPBIAN based on the 3.18 kernel doesn't provide the driver for it.
So I have to compile the driver.
At first I down load the source code at http://www.mediatek.com/zh-cn/downloads/mt7601u-usb/ for mt7601u chip.
Then Building the compiler environment as the steps on the website http://www.cnblogs.com/sjqlwy/p/4415935.html.
The compilation fails after several attempts. Anyone can help me to compile the driver?
thanks!!!

MrEngman seems to have created drivers...

You don't need to compile drivers Mr Engman does it all for us.

Download: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/802 ... ifi.tar.gz
Unpack that with tar xavf install-wifi.tar.gz
Run
./install-wifi mt7601
reboot and your WiFi will be running.

I can‘t access to the URL https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/802 ... ifi.tar.gz
Mr DougieLawson，can you email the package to me.
This my email address: 1522292358@qq.com.
Thank you very much!!

If this is a generally useful thing it's better that it is distributed publicly rather than through private email. Or at least the directions as to how to build it.

That way everybody gets benefit not just you getting a free thing for free.

By the way, how come you cannot access that dropbox url? It works fine here.

[DougieLawson]

I've sent you an email, but if you can't access Dropbox then the script won't work.

I execute a command with ./install-wifi mt7601.
However, the command-line prompt “A driver does not yet exist for this update”.

There is a driver file available for your module for kernel 3.18.12-v7+ #782
If you cannot access dropbox I think you will get this message. Can you try the command

Code: Select all

./install-wifi mt7601 -c current

and post the output of the command.

The command completes and displays the following message，

I am fairly certain you are unable to access dropbox but without modifying the install-wifi script it is not possible to see the exact error when the script downloads the driver. It will say the same message that the file does not exist if it unable to access dropbox.

I have copied the driver to another web site so you may be able to download and install it with the following commands

Code: Select all

wget http://www.fars-robotics.net/mt7601-3.18.12-v7-782.tar.gz
tar xzf mt7601-3.12.18-v7-782.tar.gz
./install.sh

I hope you can get the driver from here.
