Hi there! I noticed lately that MT76x2u chipset's firmware changed from "mt7662.bin" -> "mt7662u.bin" and "mt7662_rom_patch.bin" -> "mt7662u_rom_patch.bin" This is wrong. the kernel module asks for "mt7662.bin" and "mt7662_rom_patch.bin"; └─# modinfo mt76x2u name: mt76x2u filename: (builtin) license: Dual BSD/GPL file: drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt76x2/mt76x2u description: MediaTek MT76x2U (USB) wireless driver author: Lorenzo Bianconi <[email protected]> firmware: mt7662_rom_patch.binfirmware: mt7662.bin └─# dmesg | grep mt76x2 [ 2.226157] usbcore: registered new interface driver mt76x2u [ 88.275548] mt76x2u 2-1:1.0: ASIC revision: 76120044 [ 88.509078] mt76x2u 2-1:1.0: ROM patch build: 20140408060640a [ 88.726559] mt76x2u 2-1:1.0: Firmware Version: 0.0.00 [ 88.726862] mt76x2u 2-1:1.0: Build: 1 [ 88.726990] mt76x2u 2-1:1.0: Build Time: 201406241830____ [ 509.490251] mt76x2u 2-4:1.0: ASIC revision: 76120044 [ 510.140394] mt76x2u 2-4:1.0: ROM patch build: 20140408060640a [ 510.426527] mt76x2u 2-4:1.0: Firmware Version: 0.0.00 [ 510.429952] mt76x2u 2-4:1.0: Build: 1[ 510.431398] mt76x2u 2-4:1.0: Build Time: 201406241830____ So, the current linux-firmware will not work and device firmware will fail. best regard, Christian <kimocoder> Bremvaag Kali Linux
