[OpenWrt-Devel] willing to donate a MTK MT7620A/MT7610E-based router to anyone who wants to work on one

[John Crispin]

Hi,

why the mt7610 requirement ? whr works well with a rt5592 as 5ghz and
the whr-1166 has mt7612 as 5ghz for which felix pushed the driver last
night. mt7610 is only used by the dir810 and there is no free driver for
that wifi chip.
