MT7610 firmware load failing

[wifinigel]

I'm using Buster on the Neo3 but am having an issue using an MT7610 USB wireless NIC. I believe the 7610 is on the list of supported devices, so am not sure if I'm hitting an issue with the build?

Error message from dmesg:

The product ID seems to indicate its a 7610 (idProduct=7610), but there is a message about trying to load mt7610e.bin. Looking on the MediaTek site, it lists both the 7610e & 7610u chips under the title of MT7610.

 

Does the distribution only support the 7610u and I'm trying to use  a 7610e?

 

On the neo3 Armbian page, it lists a generic 7610 as being supported: https://www.armbian.com/nanopineo3/

 

Thanks in advance.

Install firmware-misc-nonfree package

or perhaps full version of firmware via armbian-config.
