3. Troubleshooting when upgrading kernel

---

###3.1 Install script

If you installed the driver with the install script, you will have to reinstall the drivers when you upgrade your kernel.

To do so, run:

./uninstall
make clean
./install

If you don't uninstall and clean, you will face problems like this:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'mt7630e': Exec format error
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'mt76xx': Exec format error

###3.2 DKMS

If you install with dkms then you won't need to uninstall/install for minor kernel updates. Major kernel updates may still need update/uninstall/install though.

Source:

  The original source was taken from https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e
  Some patches for extended kernel support are taken from https://github.com/benjarobin/MT7630E

Note: Even though the original source was taken from kuba-moo, it no longer resembles that of the original. If you want to apply a patch that works with other sources, be ware that the line number and content may or may not match i.e you will have to be careful applying patches.
