| Summary | 0005237: Enable Mediatek MT76* modules for wireless adapters | ||||
| Description | We are currently lacking support for some Mediatek wireless adapters. We need to ensure it gets enabled in Debian: In the kernel: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=918331 In the firmware package too: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919452 Reported by @steev. | ||||

Reminder to myself when I get around to prepare a merge request against https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux : - instructions to build from git: https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official-vcs - should do a merge a request against the "sid" branch (ex: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/merge_requests/114) (or as a hint to @steev if he wants to give it a try ;-)) |
|
|
The modules are now available with the latest linux (>= 4.19.20). The firmware package still needs to be updated. I submitted a merge request to help speed this up: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/firmware-nonfree/merge_requests/7 |
|
|
The firmware package has been updated but a release critical bug kept the package out of testing ever since its upload. @steev should I try to get this solved or can we wait until someone fixes this release critical bug? |
|
|
FTR, the problematic bug is this one: https://bugs.debian.org/928631 |
|
|
The updated firmware and drivers have been available in testing and Kali for a while now. |
