Driver for usb wifi MT7610U
Christophe Vial
the lsusb command returns
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 148f:761a Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7610U
("Archer T2U" 2.4G+5G WLAN Adapter
After some research I found the driver to install from
https://github.com/ulli-kroll/mt7610u
But the make command fails. I tried both in fedora-29 and debian9 vm,
but in both cases I get the same error :
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C
/lib/modules/4.14.74-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64/build M=/home/user/src/mt7610u
modules

make[1]: Leaving directory
'/usr/lib/modules/4.14.74-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64/build'
make: *** [Makefile:370: modules] Error 2
Does anyone knows how to fix it ?
And if not, any recommendations for some usb wifi adapters working out
of the box ? I still have few days to return this one if I can't get it
working.

Hi,
I just googled (https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/mediatek) that it seems to be in 4.19+ kernels. From your error, you seem to run 4.14 kernel into you vm. Or we provide 4.19+ kernels. You need to update your dom0 (if it is not done) and change your vm settings to use kernel-4.19.15 which is the current LTS. We also provide mainline stable kernel by installing 'kernel-latest'. So if you are only interested in having more updated kernels only in your VM, install the package 'kernel-latest-qubes-vm' (in dom0: sudo qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest-qubes-vm) and change your vm settings to the more recent one.
Best regards,
Frédéric

Hello, thank you for your help.
sudo qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest-qubes-vm, did not find any package, by running sudo qubes-dom0-update -v I found out something was pointing to some non existing URL.
https://yum.qubes-os.org/r25-5/current/dom0/fc25/repodata/repomd.xml.metalink
After some research I did some changes in /etc/yum.repos.d/qubes-dom0.repo, I replaced all the $releasever by 4.0, I got an important amount of updates after this and I was finally able to user kernel 4.20.3-1 in my VMs.
Unfortunately this still didn't solve my wifi adapter problem. When I now assign the wifi adapter to a vm with the qvm-usb attach command, it appears briefly in the lsusb results of the vm, but then just disappears.
Best regards,
Christophe

Hi,
Sorry for the few trouble you had with the .repo files which has been corrected in recent updates.
Have a look into your VM where you attached your wifi adapter. Does something like 'bad usb cable' appear?
Best,
Frédéric
Christophe
Hi, yes the error in the VM is about bad usb cable when I use the 4.20 kernel.
[ 50.803667] cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates
for regulatory database
[ 50.840384] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee:
00b28ddf47aef9cea7'
[ 51.761645] usb usb1-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable
is bad?
[ 54.425794] mt76x0u: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -110
It seems that the problem is specific to kernel 4.20 according this bug report https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202243
There seem to be a patch, but it's still not clear for me how to
apply it. They also say it's working fine with 4.19 kernel.
I'm trying to install the 4.19 kernel, but there seem to still be some wrong repo config on my system, when I run 'sudo qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest-devel-4.19.2-3.pvops.qubes.x86_64' the package is downloaded but then it returns an Error : Unable to find a match.
Best regards,
Christophe
