Progress tracker: 1% - It only builds #1

samveen · 2024-03-13T05:51:50Z

The driver doesn't work yet.

This is a tracking ticket to list and track progess

Task list

Get it to build via DKMS
Get module to load
Fix PCI IDs (there are apparently multiple PCI IDs)
Fix script to pull and extract firmware from upstream vendor non-linux drivers.
Get the driver to work
Let it work with SecureBoot

Challenges

No access to a laptop with an MT7902 (financing/donations, anyone?)
Experience with DKMS, but none with driver writing
No availability of linux 6.8 packages for Ubuntu 20.04 (my main environment). (Jammy LTS Mainline Kernels amd64 not building TuxInvader/focal-mainline-builder#43) - working on solving this as of now - Mainline 6.8 build issues due to changes in multiple requirement. TuxInvader/focal-mainline-builder#47. Solved: I have the 6.8 kernel built for focal, and the modules now build.
Lack of testers

Linux hardware probe information: https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:14c3-7902 - Most of these seem to be Asus laptops and or self build desktops using Asus motherboards.

Current reason of stalled dev

The driver fails to load the firmware patch file . This needs to be investigated, but I am unable to do so as I do not own an MT7902

Note: Any useful information in comments will get added here.

J'essaye d'installer et de build le driver juste 2,3 problèmes pour le changement de kernel sur la distribution pos-os. Ils ne trouvent pas le dossier build.

@henri26mobu
I have not yet succeeded in building a test environment for it either. As of now, the minimum required version of the kernel is 6.8 (released 2 weeks back), but I'm facing trouble building a dkms capable deployment for it for ubuntu 20..04 as listed in TuxInvader/focal-mainline-builder#43 (comment)

If you are using pop-os, please install linux-6.8 kernel and try.

Ideally for testing:

Ubuntu 24.04(noble) daily builds - https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
Kernel 6.8 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds

Please create an new issue and dkms build log (verbose mode if possible). It will help me debug

henri26mobu · 2024-03-19T14:20:46Z

I did with kernel 6.8 I'll try with ubuntu noble which looks better if it already has I new kernel. And I'll say if the build environment works.

I did with kernel 6.8 I'll try with ubuntu noble which looks better if it already has I new kernel. And I'll say if the build environment works.

Any OS on linux 6.8 kernel with DKMS is fine. Please create a new issue and keep attaching the build logs there. I'll try and see where things are going wrong and fix them. In the mean time, I hope to get kernel 6.8 running too, but there are issues with it still - TuxInvader/focal-mainline-builder#47

I have never participated in such an attraction before. Tell me if I'm doing something wrong. @samveen

@StreetXHasu Please see this commit torvalds/linux@a9ca9f9

The page_pool headers were restructured during the above listed commit as part of v6.6-rc1 . Thus the code will not build on 6.5 unfortunately.

What distribution are you running? If you have access to linux-6.6 kernel or higher, you can install that and retry?

Also please open a new ticket to track seperately.

JoshIPT · 2024-06-21T23:12:48Z

I have a device with an MT7902 you can have remote access to in order to test this. Running Linux Mint Edge.

samveen · 2024-06-26T05:47:26Z

@JoshIPT I've tried to make the instruction in the Readme beginner friendly. Please try them out (better to fish yourself than wait on a fisherman, right?)

celerizer · 2024-07-17T23:20:59Z

Successfully built and installed in Debian Testing on a newly purchased laptop that happened to have one of these stupid cards. Is there anything else I can report that would be useful?

samveen · 2024-07-19T13:29:27Z

@celerizer I've just merged some work by @alesliehughes (Alistair) . Please update, build, modprobe and post a new issue with your kernel log for Alistair to review.

Pyrotonic1 · 2024-07-20T17:38:15Z

Hello! I recently bought a laptop with this network card and wanted to see what would happen if I tried running this driver on my system. I'm currently using the Asus Vivobook 14 X1404ZA, and I'm running the KDE spin of Fedora 40. I'm not the most educated on how Linux works in the background, but I was looking through a bunch of logs using journalctl and found these errors:

Jul 20 12:58:54 fedora kernel: mt7902_common: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
Jul 20 12:58:54 fedora kernel: mt7902 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for mediatek/WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7902_1.bin failed with error -2
Jul 20 12:58:54 fedora kernel: mt7902 0000:02:00.0: ASIC revision: 79020000

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but if there's anything else you'd like me to (attempt) to do to help out, I'm more than willing to do so!
