Hello,
Im trying to get my wifi dongle to work. It unfortunately has the same chipset than my previous wifi dongle, and does not have updated driver.
I have found a GitHub user who has fixed the old driver and kept it updated for a while I believe, and cloned his project.
Unfortunately insmod gives an error:
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module mt7610u.ko: Unknown symbol in module
I tried also with modprobe (I do not know if they are totally the same) which complained about not having the file in certain folder, where I then copied the driver file and tried again. It is successful, but unfortunately my system freezes and I need to reset from button. I also need to remove the dongle in order to use the system without another freezing.
Would it do the same with insmod?
Even if it would, I am curious: is there a simple solution for the error?
And:
How to remove the driver completely so that it doesnt make my system to freeze again?
I tried sudo modprobe -r with that driver, and deleted the driver file from the kernel drivers folder etc. and restarted and put the dongle back in, but it froze again. I dont know why, I had to reinstall. I would love to continue my tests and go through the code etc. but I wouldnt like to reinstall every time I try and it freezes my system.
