This is sorely needed given the miserable state of wifi drivers in the Linux kernel.

Kernel maintainers, can this be pushed to mainline? It's not a vendor driver after all, and it uses nl80211 instead of WEXT.

Hello everyone! I put together a mac80211 driver for Mediatek MT7601U. It's partially based on Felix's mt76, but I'm not sure if it will make sense to merge the two together. MT7601U is a pretty old 1x1 bgn chip for USB dongles and mt76 now only supports the latest and greatest ac APs. I'm testing STA functionality right now and it seems to be working ok. The code is very much a work in progress but if anyone is interested you can get it here: https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7601uCheers, kuba -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.orgMore majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

How many mt7601u module editions exists there? :) - vendor's - vendor's patched (how many forms of the same) - your reinvented - the one on which pán Gruszka allegedly works? - any more?

I assume you mean to ask how many different drivers are there. There is the vendor 3.0.0.4 STA driver which only has client functionality. Many patched versions of this driver exist on GitHub. There is also an older version of vendor driver which can work as an AP. My mac80211-based driver is the only non-vendor version I'm aware of.
