MT7610U USB Dongle Kernel Module has to be recompiled every time there is a firmware update.

[Boggartfly]

It's really difficult to get my system online after a system update because it breaks my wifi. To fix this I have to recompile the kernel module. The source is GNU GPL V2 or later compatible and is free to use and distribute. To fix this I would recommend

1. Add the source to the Raspberry Pi firmware repository.
2. Compile the kernel module every time there's a release. [the maintainers of course]
3. Ship it via the update.

You can find the source at http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/mt7610u-usb/

@Boggartfly: You need to send this message upstream in the kernel and not here.

[Boggartfly]

Sure can you please post the link to that repo? I'm confused where to place this.. @licaon-kter

[Boggartfly]

I've put it here. raspberrypi/linux#730

[licaon-kter]

https://github.com/torvalds/linux would be it, what I mean is that in order for the RPi devs to include this module, it needs to be in the mainline LInux kernel first.

Any reason it's not there at this moment?

[Boggartfly]

I really don't know. They probably missed it out over there. I'll make an issue there too. [pun intended]

Closing. Please create a new issue (here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues) when it's been accepted upstream.
