That was my personal experience and conclusion after being in this thread
for *years* and being an Ubuntu user for even more years. So save yourself
some time - that's my message.

2019-07-08 Thread Ievgen
I feel like I have to share my experience with this WiFi adapter and
ubuntu. I'm in this thread for a few years. In the beginning, I tried
everything, all permutations of kernel versions and driver versions and
sometimes it worked a little better than not working at all, sometimes it
was working but dead slow, but in any way after the next software update,
you would have to start this journey again. Bluetooth never worked
properly. Almost always, nothing was stable. It was like I was spending
days trying to hack the system and make basic vital things work, despite
the fact I spent quite some money on my Ubuntu-based laptop.

Then I gave up and, after googling a lot, I bought another WiFi module
Intel 7620. WiFi was finally stable. Bluetooth never was stable either
though, so I didn't use it and by that time I was just happy to have a
stable WiFi. But after each software update, I held my breath and rechecked
if it still works properly and not lagging at 1MBpS speed. As to Bluetooth
- you can still forget about it.

This is my advice: if you need everything to work properly and stable, and
you need the same Unix eco-system for work\programming (or just because you
like it), my advice - just buy Mac next time you will be upgrading your
hardware. Unfortunately, that's the only way to have Unix-based user
machine (not talking about servers) with working hardware and peripherals.
Ubuntu's driver's system has a major flaw in design because of its hard
dependency on kernel versions. That's why this will *always* happen -
broken drivers, unstable devices etc etc with every update. And that's why
hardware manufacturers don't produce linux drivers much - it's just too
expensive to maintain and redevelop them for each combination of kernel\OS
versions you have.

TLDR: Unfortunately, this is the endless problem you will ALWAYS have in
linux, not just with this WiFi module. No matter how hard the community or
manufacturers commit to Linux's driver's base. If you want a proper
Unix-based system with stable hardware and peripherals, buy Mac and ditch
Ubuntu. Unless you are getting fun digging into kernels and hacking the OS
on a regular basis.

2016-10-30 Thread Jean
Hello,

Back to this bug not totally resolved. 
I am using this solution https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e 
It is working fine for Wifi with Debian Jessie, working partially for BT (I can 
send files, but cannot keep a connection). 
Owner of a new BT headphone, I tried to connect it unsuccessfully. 
I tried the new solution alledgedly fixing the BT issue 
https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E, the "bpatch" included, whithout success 
Here is the result of "systemctl status bluetooth" command. 

root@pc-jean-debian:/home/jean/Téléchargements/mt7630e/btloader# systemctl

Has anyone an idea ? Has anyone different BT devices fully connected
with the mt7630 and how did he get it ?

Thanks very much for answers.

Jean

Thanks Jean and mycodef, I did try kuba-moo without success, I am trying 
benjarobin now.

benjarobin does appear to make, unfortunately I am not sure how to 
install it.

Sorry to be a nuff nuff but would appreciate some instructions on what 
to do next.

So far I have downloaded the zip, unzipped, opened terminal, and run 
make in both MT7630-master/btloader and MT7630-master/rt2x00.

2015-04-06 Thread Peter Silva
@lubensius,  thank you very much for your work, but it is very hard to
determine what there is to integrate.  I tried to find your patches to
apply them to kubamoo.   If you published a starting  tree that was the
original mediatek code, and then committed your your changes, we could
understand the patches.  It is very difficult to identify your changes
because it is just the whole tree, and the june 2014 driver is now hard to
find, because mediatek published an updated driver later in the year.  It
is hard to compare with kubamoo work because Jakub re-structured the source
significantly, so the likelihood of being able to pick up your changes is
slim.

thanks.

oh.. I just noticed no-one confirmed for bt yet, so:
 I use a bluetooth headset at the same time as the wireless, and it is
working fine as well (but the bt was working fine even before.  It was only
the wlan causing the high cpu.)

 this fork definitely must be pushed to ubuntu release.

 Now it will be interesting to compare MT7630 with Intel 7260 I've

for what it's worth, although top show it is much better, when I look with
'powertop' the story still looks not to good (but definitely much better
than before Jakub's patch)
It still says 26.6 of 29.1 W (90% ?)  is going to the wlan ? Seems like a
heck of a lot of power for wireless lan? makes no sense.  I'm not very
knowledgeable of powertop, perhaps I just do not understand the display.

by the way, this isn't streaming or anything, there is chrome running, with
a gmail window and some local terminals.  No real network traffic  at all.

 @neurobin: Please do the right thing here and if you want to have a fork

 (1) when users complain to you instead of me they will probably not get

 (2) by destroying git history you removed my copyrights which is rude.

@gmoutso thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's pure luck that I 
had a MT7630E device laying around ;) What particular dmesg output is 
annoying to you? I think that messages are only printed during 
load/unload and establishing connection. Once connection is established 
there shouldn't be too much of them... 

I hope my changes to the driver at https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e 
are enough to fix the 100% CPU usage issue, if someone can still see the 
problem please report. Also I didn't have time today to check BT, can 
anyone test it as well? 

I would appreciate if any errors and problems with the driver were 
reported directly on GitHub (as Issues) because it would make the 
development easier for me. Thanks!

The driver seems to be present in machines with pre-installed OS, but 
isn't available on the download-and-install versions!

me too with losing a cpu to ksoftirq.   Also, battery life on my Asus G771
goes from 2:40 to 1:30 when I turn on wifi.

 with tobiasbora solution i also get 100% cpu on ksoftirqd
 I am not sure if it helps but trying acpi=off the module does not load and
 I get a multitude of the messages

 ===rt2x00lib_start
 genirq: Flags mismatch irq 0. 0080 (:03:00.0) vs. 00015a00 (timer)
 phy0 - rt2x00lib_start: Error - IRQ 0 allocation failed (error -16).

 As an aside, would it help if more people contact mediatek? I sent a
 question on their webform but haven't received a reply.
