Add support for TP-LINK TL-WN727N rev4.

[BigJacobus]

I believe the drivers are just missing from the current build 3.1.

[foxbunny]

Could you please give us the make and model of the wifi adaptor? Or a product page / photo of the package, or something along those lines, if exact make and model are unknown.

[BigJacobus]

Does the below information provide enough detail ?

[foxbunny]

Yeah, thanks

[foxbunny]

This dongle is suppoed to be using the MediaTek MT7601U chip. Driver seems to have already been installed, so should be just a matter of adding mt7601u.bin firmware.

[foxbunny]

Should also be noted that it may not support AP mode.

[foxbunny]

Some more info on where firmware can be obtained.

EDIT: Actual link to vendor driver

[foxbunny]

Since the page which has the link to the vendor driver says it's under GPL, I will attach the firmware file that was found in the package. Don't ask for the firmware sources cause there were none. ;)

mp7601u.bin.gz

@BigJacobus try booting the Pi without the dongle attached, then copy this file into /lib/firmware and then plug the dongle in. See if that will make it work.

[BigJacobus]

I will have details for you by tomorrow on this. Did not realize there was no SCP support on dropbear.

[foxbunny]

Note that it does not have SFTP though. Some clients may need adjusting.
