Subject: Alfa AWUS036ACM (Mediatek MT7612U) AP problem
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2020 15:32:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ba64416e-d34b-9bdd-d482-6ea722e3d6b9@lockie.ca> (raw)

I have an Alfa AWUS036ACM (Mediatek MT7612U).
My AP keeps dieing.
The error:
mt76x2u: error: mt76x02u_mcu_wait_resp failed with -110
seems to be common.

I use it with a build of a OpenWrt on a Raspberry Pi 4 (Broadcom BCM2711 
SoC, ARM Cortex-A72 processor (64bit)).
Linux OpenWrt 5.4.48 #0 SMP Thu Jun 25 00:36:19 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I bought a powered USB3 hub and removed a USB3 cable in case that is 
related but the problem is still there.

I've been documenting my problems:
https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/405#
Are any of the tracebacks useful?

I found this:

I downloaded 
https://d86o2zu8ugzlg.cloudfront.net/mediatek-craft/drivers/MT7612U_DPO_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.1_20140718.tar.bz2
and there is no "mcu_wait_resp".

I also found this:

What 80211.ac USB adapter has the best (most open and compatible) now 
(or likely) linux kernel support?
