It is now added, but with an invalid hardware address. So I presume that is for a reason and it still doesn't work?


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Should I try once more to perform a 'Scan wireless networks'?

 

Probably I will have another green screen... :(

Green screen once more :(

 

Here's the crash.log... Now I think it's the correct one :)

Yes, still the same problem, loop in the code due to parsing invalid data.

So I guess my best chance is to buy another to replace this wifi pen right?  :(

 

Any tip about a model/chip that wouldn't bring me problems again?

 

Thanks

Try one more thing: give it a MAC manually:

ifconfig hw ether '06:3C:D5:C5:74:F5' wlan0

then

ifup wlan0

Maybe it should be 

 

ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 06:3C:D5:C5:74:F5


test

Now I'm running out of ideas, too. Here is an (outdated, OpenPLi 6.2) list of supported WLAN devices. But it lists your MT7601U, too...

Apparently it is not a MT7601U, in fact it's a RT2870 as posted on answer #46 by @WanWizard "your stick isn't an MT7601U at all, it is an RT2870"

It seems to be a little bit of both. #45:

-->MT7601_Init()
...
usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2870

#55:

lsmod
...
mt7601Usta

It seems to use the rt2870 firmware and the mt7601usta kernel module.

Let's try one more thing. The mt7601Usta kernel module accepts a single parameter: the mac address. Create a file /etc/modprobe.d/mt7601Usta.conf with contents:

option mt7601Usta mac=06:3C:D5:C5:74:F5

Unload the module:

modprobe -rv mt7601Usta

Reload the module:

modprobe -v mt7601Usta

Check if it worked (wlan0 has mac address):

ifconfig -a

Didnt I have to change the permissions of the file mt7601Usta.conf and eventually reboot the receiver?
