What didn't work?

Same as #68. But this time the patch suggested didn't work.

What did you try?

That's what I get:

Instead of using

/* MediaTek MT76x0E */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0e8d, 0x763f), .driver_info = BTUSB_MEDIATEK },

in the patch you may want to try using

/* MediaTek MT76x0E */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0489, 0xe069), .driver_info = BTUSB_MEDIATEK },

As the 0489:e069 seems to be your bluetooth device

[jeremyb31]

I cant seem to get the formatting correct but I hope you see what I am suggesting

[ghjdgfher]

Instead of using

/* MediaTek MT76x0E */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0e8d, 0x763f), .driver_info = BTUSB_MEDIATEK },

in the patch you may want to try using

/* MediaTek MT76x0E */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0489, 0xe069), .driver_info = BTUSB_MEDIATEK },

As the 0489:e069 seems to be your bluetooth device

works like a charm.

Works for me too. I'm running Linux 4.4.0-138-generic and Ubuntu 16.04.5. I don't care about Bluetooth, but fixing the Bluetooth driver as described here somehow magically fixes the wifi, and I do care about the wifi.

Thanks! I was going to go buy a new laptop if this fix didn't work.

I posted a comment and retracted it.

Ubuntu fed me a new Kernel version, 4.4.0-139-generic, and I had some difficulty compiling things to work with it. The procedure that works is:

(I'm using parentheses as comments because numbersigns display strangely.)
(Insert the cable, check for a network.)
cd ~/Downloads/MT7630E/MT7630E-2.0.7
sudo ./bpatch -u
usb-devices | awk '/e069/' RS=
(It mentions "P: Vendor=0489 ProdID=e069 Rev=01.00")
(Check numbers match in bpatch near "btusb.c". It should say:
sed -i "s/{ USB_DEVICE(0x0e8d, 0x763f) },/{ USB_DEVICE(0x0489, 0xe069), .driver_info = BTUSB_MEDIATEK },/" btusb.c
)
sudo rm -rf build
time sudo make uninstall
time sudo make clean
time sudo ./bpatch
(Check that there's only one btusb.c there, and the kernel version number in
the path mentions 139 and not 138.
Mention of MediaTek MT76x0E in btusb.c has numbers matching the
usb-devices call.)
time sudo make
(Check for no warnings similar to #68.)
(Remove the cable.)
reboot
cd ~/Downloads/MT7630E/MT7630E-2.0.7
sudo ./test
(It works and I'm posting from it now.)
