Hi,

I have just installed Gentoo and trying to connect to the Internet through USB WiFi MT7601U (148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter).
Kernel module for it was build as module (here is my kernel config).
Unfortunately, on boot (or on plugging-in attempt) I see this trace in dmesg:
Code:

What am I doing wrong? How to debug this?

You're using a buggy kernel driver, that's what you're doing wrong. :) Historically, wireless has been more trouble than wired due to vendors being uncooperative. Wireless is much better than it was 10 years ago though. If you have a wired connection available, that will likely work well while you resolve your wireless problem.

Please try the following:
  • Test with an untainted kernel. This is not likely to help in this case, but is a very good idea if you want to report the problem upstream.
  • Test with a recent kernel. You are several releases behind on 4.9.x, and that itself is very behind mainline (which is currently doing -rc kernels for 4.17). Your problem may already be fixed in a newer kernel. Try the latest 4.16.x (as of my post, 4.16.9 - but if newer is available when you read this, use that instead). If you are new to Linux, stay away from -rc kernels for now.

Thanks for the answer, Hu!

I upgraded kernel to 4.16.9 and this driver works now.

Glad to help, and that your first forum thread was solved quickly and easily. I had hoped this was fixed upstream since kernel BUG events are so severe, but there was the possibility that this device and/or the triggering conditions were rare enough that you were unique. If so, it might have required a few rounds of debugging before a resolution was found.

When you are satisfied with the resolution of a thread, it is helpful to edit the opening post's title to mark the thread as SOLVED so that other readers know no further work is required. In this case, I applied the change.
