Hi devs,
These AC600 USB Wifi adapters are fairly popular and cheap these days so I was wondering if anyone has been able to get them to work with OpenWRT. I understand that performance on these chips aren't great but I think for the price and easy availability, it would be something that many people would be interested in getting to work. I'm looking to add a second wifi adapter for my road warrior router.
I've seen this chipset in various products:
-- MediaTek MT7610U (RT2860)
-- EDIMax AC600 Wireless Dual-Band Mini USB Adapter
-- ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-AC600 Wi-Fi Adapter (USB-AC51)
EDIMax provides the linux drivers on their website:

The driver in the package:
rtl8821AU_linux_v4.3.19.5_17672.20160506_BTCOEX20150921-58.tar.gz
lsusb lists the device as:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0e8d:7610 MediaTek Inc.
Open source driver I found:
https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au
I have tried all of the rt28xx drivers that are currently available in CC to no avail.
Thanks for any response.
