Drivers for Dynamode WL-700N-RXS (MT7601 chipset)

[miguelbernadi]

Hi,

I recently acquired a Raspberry Pi and a Dynamode WL-700N-RXS USB Wireless adapter. I just discovered that the kernel supplied modules are not adequate for this model. Looking around I found a guide: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 4&p=392697 for raspbian that works perfectly when doing it by hand.

I would like this process to be automated with a PKGBUILD for whomever needs it and for myself when reinstalling or reusing the adapter. I'm willing to write it myself, but I'm very new to arch and I feel lost. I've been reading the wiki about how to create a PKGBUILD: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_Packages and kernel packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke ... Guidelines

Nonetheless I'm not sure about how to proceed. Is anyone able to guide me to some tutorial, guide or explanation more focused on packaging kernel modules/drivers? Is there any reason why this wouldn't be desirable and I should save the effort?

look here and here for examples of dkms packages and create your own, then submit a pull request to be added to the repository

Hi all, I was able to build a package for the mt7601 chipset. I started from the other examples in the archlinuxarm repo and used the notes for building the driver provided by Logic Supply.

I tested on the BeagleBone Black. Would be great if other people can do more testing.

See details here:

I already sent a pull request archlinuxarm.

BTW: I couldn't get the package dkms-8192cu to work with the Edimax EW-7811Un. It ran very slow which is what other people commented.
