MT7610U can it work possibly?

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

Hi all!

I have a USB WiFi card that can work with wifi AC (the 5GHz is the interesting, because we have dozen of AP-s around us at 2.4Ghz) the chipset ID is 0e8d:7610 (or mediatec 7610U but I have seen somewhere that it could possibly be RT2860 or RT2870 also).
Main thing is that I see the damn thing with lsusb when connected, and I can see in the firmwares directory that it has the necessary RT28X0.bin, but OSMC doen not recognises it. I have tried to google around but notnig much surfaced. The board is an RPi2. Can someone advice anything?

Is something like an archer T2U 802.11ac with usb ID 148f:761a part of that same todo?

(in the meantime I tried to install drivers myself using this post after running

sudo apt-get install rbp2-headers-4.2.3-2-osmc

but to no avail, compilation still fails in something related to /build in the headers location :expressionless: )

Possibly the same chipset and different vendor. As far as I can see the main problem is that the driver for linux and for this chipset were made for 2.xy kernel and was never updated farther, so a lot of things needs to be rewritten.

Still a bug then.

You can pull the source for now: rbp2-source-4.2.3-2-osmc
