    Looks like "something" fails an then run out of resources. ;)

    Updated mesa and/or kernel driver may help on your hardware but there is no guaranty.

  • LibreELEC 9.0.2 going to cycle boot

    iptvximple is terminating kodi while decompressing EPG data. Maybe OOM, check dmesg/journalctl.

    Remove the EPG data to fix the crash.

    Unlike Windows where you can navigate around changing drivers and power / driver settings, this is a little intimidating. A6200/A6210/WNDA3100v2 wireless adapter intermittently disconnects | Answer | NETGEAR Support

    There is no interactive interface. After installing the Network Tools addon from the LE repo you can use the iw* command line tools to configure wireless parameters.

    But I cannot promise that you find a similar option.

    Good to hear that it is working.

    I ended up putting a copy of both mt7662.bin and mt7662_rom_patch.bin (without the u, just renamed the original files), in firmware, the ones WITH u's in mediatek:


    /storage/.config/firmware
    /storage/.config/firmware/mediatek/


    I'm not sure which one got it going but it worked. I got the idea for the two different sets from this post ASUS USB-N53 B1: failed to load ROM patch · Issue #232 · openwrt/mt76 · GitHub (LorenzoBianconi, really who seems to know what he is doing, unlike me :) ).

    The files in firmware/mediatek/ are used by the kernel 4.19.36 driver (shown in your modinfo post).

    The kernel 5.1.1 driver is looking for them firmware/ with different name - please don't ask me why :)

    For future reference, the FOUR files I used, I found in kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git - Repository of firmware blobs for use with the Linux kernel, in the latest gz file. It's a 78M file with ALL the firmware, my file name was linux-firmware-20190514.tar.gz. I extracted it with Z-Zip, found the files in:

    You can copy only the needed files directly from the linux-firmware git tree using the plain links.
