Hello,
Having trouble using my new WiFi dongle, I believe it’s not recognizing the correct driver?
RTL8188C/8192C either of these I would presume to work, however not sure if OSMC has these drivers?
Regards
Mas0x
Almost all 8188C/8192C dongles are supported.

When I use dmesg command I get a red line critical fault, will paste the entire dmesg print later this evening as I’m just about to leave for work.
Regards

Please use the paste-log command to upload any logs rather than posting them directly into your message. For dmesg you could do:
dmesg | paste-log
Also have a look at the grab-logs command that was added in the September update, this allows easy combined uploading of the same logs that the My OSMC log uploader can upload, while the paste-log command is useful for uploading any arbitrary file/log etc.
More information…
MediaTek MT7610U (RT2860)
Thinking about sending my adapter back, unless this is/will be supported.
Bump.
A bump after 9 hours is a bit cheeky!
sudo apt-get install usbutils
lsusb | paste-log
Paste URL here
Sam
Can also try this temporarily:
sudo -s
modprobe mt7601u
echo "0e8d 7610" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mt7601u/new_id
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/mt7601u/new_id
systemctl restart mediacenter
Now check My OSMC -> Network
It may need a 7610U driver though. I notice the product ID is very different.
Sorry for the cheeky bump Sam, just really want to get to the bottom of my problems, just leaving for work now, will paste url thus evening for you.
Kind regards
ERROR:
bash: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mt7601u/new_id: Permission denied
EDIT:
USB now has power! However OSMC does not detect the WiFi Dongle.
You probably didn’t run it under sudo -s
All commands were run under sudo -s (root)
Hmm – not sure then
Sam
I found a git with the required MT7610U drivers, how would I go about installing?
Follow the instructions of the GitHub repository. I will see if I can pick one of these dongles up.
