MTW(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual MTW(4) 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 ports 15.quarterly May 3, 2025 MTW(4)
