18.3 xcfe WiFi install — MT7630e — working now

Post by AZgl1800 » Sun Jul 29, 2018 11:45 pm

I’m back this time with xcfe and it can’t install the MT7630e adapter
it hangs up in the last step with the manual method of doing it.
but, you asked for the DKMS stats, so here they are:

john@john-TP500LA ~/Documents/WiFi/MT7630E-release $ $ dkms status; modinfo mt7630e ndiswrapper, 1.60, 4.10.0-38-generic, x86_64: installed filename: /lib/modules/4.10.0-38-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mt7630e.ko license: GPL description: rt2x00 library version: 2.3.8 author: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com license: GPL description: rt2x00 7630 library version: 2.3.8 author: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com license: GPL description: rt2x00 mmio library version: 2.3.8 author: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com license: GPL firmware: MT7650E234.bin description: Mediatek MT7630 PCI Wireless LAN driver. version: 2.3.8 author: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com license: GPL description: Ralink RT2800 library version: 2.3.8 author: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz license: GPL description: rt2x00 pci library version: 2.3.8 author: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com srcversion: F8B691AE2F721FE1A2079D3 alias: pci:v000014C3d00007650sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014C3d00007630sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: mac80211,cfg80211,eeprom_93cx6 vermagic: 4.10.0-38-generic SMP mod_unload parm: nohwcrypt:Disable hardware encryption. (bool) john@john-TP500LA ~/Documents/WiFi/MT7630E-release $ 

These are the steps I was going thru.
I opened up the folder that it calls for, and then started up Terminal inside that folder.

**You need kernel headers to build the driver** As an example, on Debian and derivatives, assuming you're on an amd64 system: ```sh sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-amd64 ``` That's all for dependencies. First give some file execution permission: chmod +x install test uninstall bpatch Now to install it, run: sudo ./install 

and here is the Terminal output for doing the above steps.

as you can see, it hung at «demod. » and I had to use ^C to abort the process.
did a reboot and repeated with the same exact results.

john@john-TP500LA ~/Documents/WiFi/MT7630E-release $ sudo ./install make -C /lib/modules/4.10.0-38-generic/build M=/home/john/Documents/WiFi/MT7630E-release/rt2x00 modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.10.0-38-generic' CC [M] /home/john/Documents/WiFi/MT7630E-release/rt2x00/rt2800lib.o CC [M] /home/john/Documents/WiFi/MT7630E-release/rt2x00/rt2x00pci.o LD [M] /home/john/Documents/WiFi/MT7630E-release/rt2x00/mt7630e.o Building modules, stage 2.

I am currently using the Panda PAU06 USB WiFi adapter which the kernel reconized and it works.

this is the same ASUS TP500L I have been using all along, just have xcfe on its’ own partition so I can dual boot between xcfe and cinnamon

Linux mint mediatek mt7630e

Как известно wi-fi адаптеры от компании Mediatek, плохо совместимы с операционной системой Linux. Ниже приведена краткая инструкция о том, как заставить работать Mediatek MT7630E.

Официально компанией Mediatek бал выпущен работающий драйвер для Mediatek MT7630E для Linux, поддерживающий только ядра версии 3.13 и 3.14. В данном руководстве будет рассмотрен модифицированный драйвер, совместимый с версией ядра Linux 4.2 и выше.

Скачивание драйвера

Скачать драйвер можно отсюда (это модифицированная версия оригинального драйвера которую очень легко установить).

Установка

Для установки драйвера Mediatek MT7630E просто следуйте нижеприведенным инструкциям:

1. Распакуйте скачанный архив домашнюю или любую директорию;
2. Откройте терминал и перейдите в распакованную директорию:

sudo chmod +x install sudo ./install

Введи свой пароль и ждите завершения установки.

После завершения установки драйвера вы увидите, что в вашем менеджере сетей появились устройства Wi-Fi И Bluetooth. Драйвер будет загружаться автоматически во время загрузки системы и вам не нужно будет загружать его самостоятельно каждый раз.

Еще можно установить драйвер с динамической поддрержкой модулей ядра Linux (dkms), что позволит не переустанавливать его каждый раз, когда ядро будет обновлено. Для этого следует устанавливать драйвер используя следующие команды:

# Установка нужных компонентов для скачивания и сборки
sudo apt-get install git dkms build-essential
# Клон git репозитория
git clone https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E.git
# Перходим в папку с драйвером
cd MT7630E/
# Создаем динамические модуля для ядра
sudo make dkms

У вас недостаточно прав для того чтобы тут гадить.

Linux mint mediatek mt7630e

Mediatek launched a working driver for their wireless device MT7630E for Linux Mint/Ubuntu which was officially supported only for kernel 3.13 and 3.14. The modified driver I am going to use can be installed upto kernel 4.4.*

Download the driver from here (It’s a modification of the original driver for easy installation)

Now follow the instructions below:

1. extract the archive in your Downloads directory (or any other directory).

2 . In terminal run:

cd ~/Downloads/MT7630E-release (change the path if you extracted in another folder)

3. now run these commands one by one:

sudo chmod +x install
sudo ./install

It will prompt for your password. Put your password and wait to finish the installaion.

After installation has been completed the wifi will appear in the networkmanager and bluetooth will be available for use. The driver will load at startup automatically, so you don’t need to load the driver every time you reboot.

Comments

Thank you ! (Asus S551L + LinuxMint Tara)

If wifi works after installing the driver but bluetooth doesn’t, you should check «Readme.md» in driver file directory (/Downloads/MT7630E-release).

There is a instruction how to run a script that turn bluetooth on.
It is good activate kernel repository in software source, script download and patch kernel for you.

Works for me on Asus X550V.

Sorry for my bad english, it is not my native lanquage.

It works fine for me thanks..
Kernel 4.6.0
Mint 18

@FLLM that’s odd. Try the dkms install. commands

@jefreesujit
something is wrong with your environment (not the driver) i.e it failed even before starting to compile the driver. Better post this at Ubuntu Forums

Wifi is not working for MT7630E in ubuntu 15.10. I followed the instructions, but it doesnt work.

wifi works on the new kernels with this driver, but the bluetooth problem still persists. We haven’t found any cause-and-solution for that yet.

Wifi is working with LM17.2 (kernel 4.2.0-18) ASUS TP500LN. Bluetooth does not work.

I just used this for Linux Mint 17.2 on a newly purchased ASUS X555LB-NS51 laptop and it worked for me. Thank you! Quick note: the ./install command also needed sudo.

The driver has been updated and the kernel support has been extended. This driver seems to be installable even in kernel 4.0

That’s upto mediatek, if they start supporting ubuntu 14.10 then you will be able to do what you want.

It will only work with kernel version 13 and 14. So it will not work on Ubuntu 14.10 which has kernel 3.16

@ freezx,
yeah, many laptops, specially asus laptops are facing that problem. It’s because of the main driver is not that resource efficient. You have to wait until mediatek releases an efficient version of the driver.
Bug report for this problem and related discussions

great , very useful!
Thanks!
