Bug Description

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https:/
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's first mounted as a readonly USB disk, including driver files for Windows.

@Kai-Heng Feng,
I guess adding that line in the /lib/udev/
to automatically switch the adpater to wireless card mode, however, after added that line,
and tried restart service udev (sudo service udev restart), the adpater is still first mounted
as usb storage disk (yes, lsusb only show 148f:2878, I must click an icon on the Launch Bar to eject the disk, and lsusb changed to 148f:7601.
I even tried the line:
ATTR{idVendor}
because most other lines in that file using %b/%k
however, both no have any change( still first mount as usb disk)
Thanks for your help!

This time, the adapter is first recognized as 148f:7601.
and the dmesg output is some different.
Although still can not find any interface by "ifconfig -a", and can not select wifi in the "Network Manager", it's promosing to let the adapter work, at least the GMS modem work now.
Please see the attached 17-09-26.txt

Now please go back to comment #3 to test kernel itself (again).
| chenzero (chenzero) wrote : | #13 |
I tried kernel 4.13. however, no much diff with kernel 4.4.0-91.
I must mention that in both kernel, no ALAWAYS the adapter is automatically recoginized as 148f:7601, sometimes, it still mounted as 148f:2878, sometimes, it's 7601. ( I found the pattern is: unplug the adapter, wait a relative long time, e.g: 1 or 2 minutes, plug the adapter, then it's 7601. if immediately plug in the adapter, say just wait 10 seconds, mostly, it's mounted as usb stroage disk and will not change to 7601).
I can use following command to switch mode, with errors, but mode changed to 7601.

I just fell a little strange that is , why some info log in mt7801u is not printed,

and I sometimes still can see on kernel 4.13 or 4.4.0-91
Vendor request failed with -110.
what's the differences between replying on system to automatically switch mode and I manually eject the disk , or if I run command

Can you add "mt7601u.dyndbg=+p" to your kernel parameter and attach dmesg here? Thanks.
| chenzero (chenzero) wrote : | #20 |
I tried on kernel 4.13. that's,
add "mt7601u.dyndbg=+p" into grub.cfg, so the lines are :
menuentry {
.....
linux /boot/vmlinuz-
initrd /boot/initrd.
}
reboot,
$ cat /proc/cmdline // the output shows that param is add
BOOT_IMAGE=
It seems that no much differences in the dmesg log.
Please see the attached kernel-param.txt
BTW, I also tried to add "mt7601u.dyndbg=+p" in the /etc/sysctl.conf, reboot, however, it seems this doesn't have effect because "sudo sysctl -a|grep mt" doesn't show the parameter.

Please use the kernel here: http://
I add a timeout parameter for mt7601u. The default timeout is 300ms.
Now you can try something like "mt7601u.

Hi, I am not sure where to add this timeout ?
in the /etc/sysctl.conf, or in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg

You can use modprobe conf to do that:

Test result on kernel 4.14
1. same vendor request failed with -110
2. I notice that the Wire network(yes, Wire network) is also not work on 4.14. on kernel 4.4.0-91 (the kernel my mostly used), it's work
Please see the attached 4.14.txt

Can you try values even larger? e.g. 3000, 10000.

I tried the timeout value: 10000
Please see the attached: 4.14-long-
Thanks
| chenzero (chenzero) wrote : | #27 |
forget to mention test result:
same vendor request failed with -110 event long timeout
BTW, this looks like this is a bad adapter, however, I tried this adapter in Win10, it definitely can work.
In Windows, it must install dirver files from another company named Tplink, but from lsusb, its chip is from Ralink, whether the Tplink driver in Win10 might use some different vendor specific request ? I meant, Tplink driver uses some different request to implement some function, however, Tplink still uses Ralink USB id(146f:7601), so, if this, timeout (-110) will occur.
| Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng) wrote : | #28 |
Okay, I think it'll be better to debug yourself, it's hard to debug without physical hardware access.
Looks like probe failed in __mt7601u_dma_fw().
You probably need to print some debug information to find out at which point the function fails.
| Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng) wrote : | #29 |
The device probably requires a delay between modeswitch, it's pure guesswork though. Please try kernel here:

Sorry the late.
Test Result on the new kernel:
same vendor request failed -110

BTW, do you know any tool that can monitor the USB traffic? if have this kind of tool, I can capture some log on Win10 to find where is the problem.

Tried kernel 4.13.10 to no avail. Seems my adapter is slightly different. It does not show up as disk. Instead it is recognized as WLAN device immediately. Error msg is also different. Pls see attached file dmesg_kernel_

Both of you plugged mt7601u into EHCI (USB 2.0) port.
Can you try plugging it into an XHCI (USB 3.0) port?
| Thomas P. (tom.p) wrote : | #38 |
Attached dmesg output from a USB 3.0 system with kernel 4.4.0.
| Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng) wrote : | #39 |
Yea I can see same error.
Can you try latest mainline kernel?
| Thomas P. (tom.p) wrote : | #40 |
Luckily I could convince the owner of the system that testing this kernel wouldn't do any harm.
| Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng) wrote : | #41 |
Try if kernel parameter "usbcore.
The reset after probing is fishy here,

$ cat /proc/cmdline

seems this didn't change anything

Forgot to ask an important question, did the device work on on earlier Ubuntu Release, e.g. Precise & Trusty?
| Thomas P. (tom.p) wrote : | #44 |
Bought the device some days ago. Had no chance to test earlier Ubuntu releases.
| Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng) wrote : | #45 |
Please try kernel here, I added some quirks for the device,

So it didn't work.
Apparently someone found ways to workaround this issue:

Unfortunately the workaround from the previous post did not work for me. Do still get the same error.

Would it be possible to create a fix or is this particular device buggy?

Thanks to aleksander and Nidroide.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 4.4), Ubuntu 17.10 (kernel 4.13) and Ubuntu 18.04 (4.15.0-36-generic)
1. Download corresponding kernel source from kernel.org. For example: if you have 4.4.0-104-generic download version 4.4.
2. From archive unpack just folder drivers/
3. Edit phy.c. Find function mt7601u_init_cal and comment out call mt7601u_
// ret = mt7601u_
// if (ret)
// return ret;
// ret = mt7601u_
// if (ret)
// return ret;
Find function mt7601u_
void mt7601u_
{
// mt7601u_
mt7601u_
}
4. Build module: make -C /lib/modules/
5. Remove device
6. sudo rmmod mt7601u
7. sudo insmod ./mt7601u.ko
8. Insert device
9. Check there are no errors in dmesg and interface appeared in ip link, check connection stability.
10. To make change persistent till next kernel upgrade: backup original module and replace with compiled. To find out where is original module run modinfo mt7601u (view string filename: /lib/modules/

Hello folks,
I've experienced same problem with usb wifi (Tenda U2), which has the same chip - mediatek mt7601u. The wifi dongle would not start and the kern.log reports same errors:
Vendor request req:02 off:0080 failed:-110
I tested this with multiple ubuntu versions - 16.0.4, 14.04 and 18.04. In all of these releases the behaviour is same. Fortunately I found a solution for this and created a small patch mcu.patch - the file that require patch is mcu.c. The patch file is attached.
Nevertheless the patch adds a module's parameter "vnd_reset" (by default set to 1 - preserve current behaviour). But after the module is patched and compiled, you can load the module like:
insmod mt7601u.ko vnd_reset=0
The above will bypass the problematic (for some dongles) function we call in the driver - mt7601u_
By doing so, I was able to fix the issue for my usb dongle, it works now like a charm.
I'd like to ask Ubuntu community if this patch can be applied across all active ubuntu branches, so anyone who has issues like this can try to load the module with "vnd_reset=0" parameter and see if that fixes issues. By porting this extension to the driver, we'll avoid that the driver has to be re-compiled with a new kernel version.
thanks, martin

Please upstream the patch first so we can backport it.
The attachment "patch for the driver" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.
