How to install mt7921u on ubuntu 22.10 Raspberry Pi 4

Open ViRb3 opened this issue 2 years ago • 31 comments

Hello,

The new Ubuntu 22.10 with kernel 5.19 finally dropped and I am eager to test this adapter. Sadly, it seems like the official image for Raspberry Pi does not include the driver — /usr/lib/modules/<your kernel version>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921/mt7921u.ko is missing. In fact, the entire mediatek folder is missing. Strangely the arm64 generic ISO has those. All of the firmware files are already in /lib/firmware/mediatek so this doesn't make much sense. Do you have any idea how I can get this working?

Thanks!

P.S. the device is recognized just fine:

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e8d:7961 MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device
