Model : Archer T2U USB
Many people have been reporting unable to compile the Archer T2U USB driver on current Linux.

Old old driver on TPLINK website ( http://www.tp-link.com/us/download/Archer-T2U.html#Driver) is NOT working: http://static.tp-link.com/res/down/soft/Archer_T2U_V1_150901.zip
One user had been kind to provide alternative driver:
https://bitbucket.org/sanrath/mediatek_mt7610u_sta_driver_linux-64bit/

$ cd mediatek_mt7610u_sta_driver_linux-64bit
$ vi common/rtusb_dev_id.c
$ make
$ make install
$ modprobe mt7610u_sta[/CODE]
After adding the following line into the ./common/rtusb_dev_id.c (as per codes from ./Archer_T2U_V1_150901/Driver/NETIF/common/rtusb_dev_id.c), the driver can detect Archer T2U USB but is not able to work (getting segmentation fault on the ModemManager)

Hi, I emailed tp-link support some days ago about this issue.
They won't update the driver to support the newer Linux version. It seems the chip-maker does not support Linux any more, so they can't update to support Linux also.
It's very pity I have to choose another brand which supports newer Linux os.
The TP-Link Archer-T2U is based on Ralink 761A Mediatek is usually known for supporting the open source community.
It sound att bit weard that Ralink does not have a driver for a never kernel when the came up with one for the 2.x and 3.x kernels.
Mediatek should provide a driver for the chip but it is TP that must build the binary package.
If thats the case that the chip vendor does not want to provide a driver, wish i have very hard to belive, the TP-Link should demand them to release the source code so the community can come up with one or simple change provider of chip.
But as i said, i have very hard to belive that there is not a ralink driver for linux, it sounds more like a missunderstanding or excuse for not stick up with updated kernels.
This is a great opportunity to push TP-Link product further on linux market and win market share, so come on now, ride on the wave.

Hi all. mt76x0 chipsets are supported by default in newer version of Linux kernel. Please see if your hardware is supported :
