hello,
I’m a bit new at linux and have just installed the openSuse Leap 42.1 just recently
I have been looking for hours for a working driver for the Mediatek mt7630e Wi-Fi adapter.
I have tried the ones on this link but they didn’t work
https://software.opensuse.org/package/mt7630e
can anyone guide me to a working driver?
The actual chipset details (and any associated driver) would be useful here. Run one of the following commands
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --netcard
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep '\02' -A3
If this machine doesn’t have internet connectivity (eg wired ethernet), then copy the output to a text file, and transfer to an internet connected computer via memory stick.
thank you man for trying to help
anyway here’s the output of
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --netcard

as a start thank you
second, the output of
rpm -qa “mt76”
mt7630e-2.0.3-2.1.x86_64
mt7630e-2.0.3-10.14.x86_64
and the output of
uname -a
mt7630e-2.0.3-2.1.x86_64
mt7630e-2.0.3-10.14.x86_64

So NO driver installed, this can not work.

No, this is certainly NOT the output of uname -a.

sorry they got mixed up:shame:
here it’s

mt7630e = Firmware binaries != driver (kernel modules)
So in addition, install this package:
Problem:
The repo “hardware” does not offer driver for updated distro kernels (dumb idea
btw.), so if you want to install recommended security updates of
kernel-default-4.1.X, you might be lucky and it still works (if kernel-ABI is
still compatible) or you might be unlucky and you’re screwed.

well, that didn’t work either.
I guess that’s it for this PC
thanks anyway

Well, if that is your amount of motivation trying to solve problems, so be
it.
But if you are really interested in at least trying to solve this problem then
report back with more information.
Posting the same outputs you were being asked before (by me and
deano_ferrari) would be a good start,
Additionally, the output of
/usr/sbin/rfkill list
(if command is not found, install package "rfkill) might be a good idea.
If you really want to give us information on what’s going on you can do this
open two terminal windows
in the first one, run
dmesg --follow (as normal user is sufficient)
modprobe -rv mt7630e
modprobe -v mt7630e
and post the output of both terminal windows.
OTOH, if you really desperately want to get rid of that PC, donations to me are
welcome and will be rewarded with everlasting gratitude (nothing but certainly
also nothing less).

Make that:

alright lol!lol!lol!
here you go
/usr/sbin/rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
modprobe -rv mt7630e
modprobe: FATAL: Module mt7630e not found.
modprobe -v mt7630e
modprobe: FATAL: Module mt7630e not found.

Would you please post all commands I asked for?
But one thing is for sure, you still don’t seem to have a matching driver
installed.

the output of dmesg --follow so i put it on a separate file
okay I updated the file so that it could contain all the outputs that you asked for

Are you seriously thinking I will use that (crap-)link for downloading
some plain text?
No way, I am sorry.
Use
and post only the lines being added (not the whole output, I haven’t looked
at your link, but as there is no driver installed, it will also not be really
useful this time), maybe then you won’t even need a pastebin service.
And what about the other outputs?
I hate to quote myself, but I will make an exception.
>Posting the same outputs you were being asked before (by me and
>deano_ferrari) would be a good start,
Or to sum up and rewrite the whole stuff:
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --netcard
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep ‘\02’ -A3
rpm -qa “mt76”
uname -a

yea quoting yourself is really bad doesn’t it
I don’t know whats wrong with that file but I really don’t think I want to make the adapter work that much
I do understand you are not a paid help but if you got bothered by replying n me you could just don’t but schooling people of they should behave to gain your help isn’t nice
