I managed to rebase the patch to mainline HEAD and have it compiling and booting without crashing. It also lists the APs nicely. However connect fails with some random encryption complaints so I will work on this whenever I have time. If there is general interest to hack on this I can publish my kernel tree @kernel.org.

I started hacking on mt76 to add support but not sure if Felix is interested in merging support for old chips there. So the support for mt7630e could be added in three places, theoretically: (1) rt2x00, (2) mt7601u, (3) mt76. IMO they're all bad choices. Also MediaTek has no interest in supporting Open Source driver for this device. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

It's a fork of rt2x00 so it's missing all fixes since 3.11 or so, just a question of when this becomes unsupportable. This code is a complete mashup of Linux and duct-taped Windows NDIS-based driver code, my eyes are bleeding from looking at it. The defines etc patched in have obvious gaps due to other unsupported chips such as MT7601u I suspect. I guess it's necessary to also look at this in order to not screw things up for 7601. https://github.com/porjo/mt7601 Yours, Linus Walleij -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
