hkoster1 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I was trying to get my Fritz!WLAN AC860 to work which requires Mediatek drivers/firmware. I noticed that the various kernel modules (mt76x2u, mt76x2_common, mt76x02_usb, mt76_usb, mt76x02_lib and mt76) were already available through the armbian-firmware package, but the also required mt7662_rom_patch.bin was not. The Mediatek modules plus mt7662_rom_patch.bin are available in the firmware-linux-nonfree package, but this will only install properly after first removing the armbian-firmware package. Everything seems to work fine now (I'm using my OdroidC4 as a headless server), but I have this nagging feeling that one day I'll need to use some feature in armbian-firmware, since it was part of the original installation by default. Also, since armbian-firmware has all the Mediatek kernel modules, why does it then not also have the mt7662_rom_patch.bin file? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because nobody considered yet adding it because there is a need for it Feel free to do so by providing PR here: https://github.com/armbian/firmware/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
