# mt7601u-ap

If the module has loaded then running `ifconfig ra0 up` will bring up a Wi-Fi ac
cess point that you can connect your devices to.
You can change the network name and the security by editing the file `/etc/wifi/
RT2870AP/RT2870AP.txt`.
#### Cross compiling
You can cross compile this driver by setting `LINUX_SRC` to the kernel sources,
`CROSS_COMPILE` to your compiler and `ARCH` to the arch you are compiling for. I
t is arm for the Raspberry Pi.

AP driver for MT7601U chipset based adapters
Many usb Wi-Fi adapters that claim to have an RT5370 chipset actually have an MT
7601 chipset. There are no drivers in Linux that support this device. This drive
r can be used to set up a hotspot with these devices. This has compiled on the f
ollowing kernels:
- 3.12.35+ (Raspberry Pi)
- 3.18.16+ (Raspberry Pi)
(4.x kernels are untested.)
### How to use
Get the sources for your kernel. You can do this by running:
````sh
$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
````
Then download the source and compile:
````sh
$ git clone https://github.com/anthony96922/mt7601u-ap
$ cd mt7601u-ap
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo modprobe mt7601Uap
