Hello,?
I was wondering if anyone here would know when the drivers for this card will be added to the kernel by default.?

Thank you.?

This driver is quite nice mix of rt2800pci and Mediatek/Ralink driver,
where MT7xx code was copied into rt2x00 from venodr driver. It can be
good start for adding support for mt7xx devices to rt2x00.

Indeed, it is hard to find it.

Yep, some substantial amount of work is needed to add support to new
MT7xxx chips properly to rt2x00.

dmesg says nothing and there's probably no firmware for the device (although linux-firmware is installed)?
These are the firmwares available to me:?
[root@localhost ~]# ll /usr/lib/firmware/rt2*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8192 Mar 18 00:08 /usr/lib/firmware/rt2561.bin

When you do the above, what ends up in the dmesg output? In particular, is the
firmware available?

Supplying the line from 'lspci -nn' is a lot more helpful than just lspci.
According to the Web, the wireless chip is from Ralink. There is a git repo that
is supposed to have a driver for the device, but it is full of the standard
rt2xxx driver files. Perhaps it will work with newer kernels, or by adding the
PCI ID to an existing driver. In any case, we need the PCI ID.

That PCI ID is not in the latest Ralink driver, which is essentially what will
be in kernel 3.16.
Please try the following:
su -
modprobe -v rt2800pci
echo "14c3 7630" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/rt2800pci/new_id
Does that yield a wireless lan device?
Larry
I'd also be willing to help you test your changes. I can follow instructions, if you'd tell me what to do.?
Thanks.?

I bought such a device on EBay for $6.99. nce it arrives, I will try to modify
rt2800pci to handle it when I get some time.

Thank you for taking time to investigate it with me. Essentially, the driver for it doesn't exist in any form and maybe it will be introduced at a later release after 3.16.?

I looked more closely at the code in https://github.com/anthonywong/mt7630.
There are a number of places where there are branches specific to the MT7630. It
also needs a firmware file named mt7630.bin. Unfortunately, that file is not
found in the repo, and a quick Google search failed to find it. The
linux-firmware git repo has a file named mt7650.bin, but I think that is
Bluetooth firmware.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy fix, and only someone with the
hardware could modify rt2800pci to support this device.

Here's lspci -nn

I have tried using the drivers available on RALink/Mediatek on a pretty recent kernel of Fedora20, didn't seem to work.?
