It's not like I didn't get from your earlier mail that
you'd rather have us wait for mt76 to be upstream, but
I guess that'll take half a year at least, right?
Probably it would take me months to get something working
anyway as I have a lot to learn and I'm doing it in my
spare time.  I have no problem to rewrite the code multiple
times as needed when upstream changes.
But I'd love to get your recommendation how to get started soon,
and especially if you know if the mt7610u chipset is
closer to mt7601u or mt76x[23][eu]?


Thanks,
Johannes
