Description

This page on the linux-wireless seems to be outdated (last updated in 2018): https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/mediatek

Can anyone post a definitive list of all of the chip models currently supported by mt76 right now? A list of all supported chips (PCIe+USB+SDIO) would be very helpful. For example, there are mentions of MT7663U in the code, and mt76x2u seems to support MT7662U, but neither of those are documented on said wiki or documented in the "About" section of this repo.

While I think it would be preferable to update the wiki page, if that is not possible for whatever reason, would it be a good idea to compose a short README to put this list in?

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by inventorying supported chip references in the mt76 source, including the MT7663U mention and the mt76x2u support for MT7662U, across PCIe, USB, and SDIO. Compare that inventory with the linux-wireless Mediatek page and the repository's About section; done means a definitive list is documented in the wiki or a short README.
