NAME
     mtw -- MediaTek MT7601U USB IEEE 802.11n wireless network driver

SYNOPSIS
     device usb
     device mtw
     device wlan

     In rc.conf(5):
     kld_list="if_mtw"

DESCRIPTION
     This  module  provides  support  for  MediaTek MT7601U USB wireless network
     adapters.	If the appropriate hardware is detected, the driver will be  au-
     tomatically  loaded  with devmatch(8).  If driver autoloading is explicitly
     disabled, enable the module in rc.conf(5).  The mtw driver can  be  config-
     ured at runtime with ifconfig(8) or at boot with rc.conf(5).

HARDWARE
     The  mtw  driver  supports  MediaTek  MT7601U  based  USB	wireless network
     adapters including (but not all of them tested):

     *	 ASUS USB-N10 v2
     *	 D-Link DWA-127 rev B1
     *	 Edimax EW-7711UAn v2
     *	 Foxconn WFU03
     *	 Tenda U2
     *	 Tenda W311MI v2
     *	 TP-LINK TL-WN727N v4 (tested working)
     *	 Yealink WF40

FILES
     The mtw driver requires firmware from ports/net/wifi-firmware-mt7601u-kmod.
     This firmware package will be installed automatically with fwget(8) if  the
     appropriate hardware is detected at installation or runtime.

SEE ALSO
     usb(4), wlan(4), networking(7), fwget(8), wpa_supplicant(8)

HISTORY
     The mtw driver first appeared in OpenBSD 7.1 and FreeBSD 15.0.

AUTHORS
     The  mtw  driver  was  written by James Hastings <hastings@openbsd.org> and
     ported to FreeBSD by Jesper Schmitz Mouridsen <jsm@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS
     mtw only works in station mode and monitor mode.  The firmware does not al-
     ways reinitialize when reloading the module,  or  when  rebooting,  without
     first unplugging the device.

FreeBSD 15.1			   May 3, 2025				  MTW(4)
