 Free drvier COMFAST CF-922AC 1200Mbps 11AC double frequency wireless network card /USB3.0 wireless adapter

Important Special Reminder for Linux / Kali / LibreELEC Users

This WiFi adapter is equipped with genuine MediaTek MT7612U chip, with built-in driver storage partition.

✅ Windows 7/8/10/11: Plug and play directly, it will automatically switch to WiFi mode without extra operations.

⚠️ Linux System Special Situation:

When you first plug in the adapter, Linux will identify it as a USB flash drive (Hardware ID: 0e8d:2870), and the WiFi function is locked.

This is not a false chip label! You need to run the specified command to switch the hardware to wireless mode, then load the driver to use WiFi normally.

The built-in storage partition only stores Windows drivers; Windows can auto skip storage mode, while Linux has no native auto-switch function.

After successful switching, the hardware ID will change to 0e8d:7612, and the wireless network card interface wlan will appear.

Complete Operation Steps for Linux System

Step 1 Install the mode switching tool

Copy the following two lines of code and run them in the terminal:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install usb-modeswitch usb-modeswitch-data -y

Step 2 Switch from U disk mode to wireless network card

Execute this switching command:

sudo usb_modeswitch -K -W -v 0x0e8d -p 0x2870

Wait 3-5 seconds for the hardware conversion to complete.

After waiting, run command lsusb to check hardware ID. If it displays

0e8d:7612

, the mode switch succeeds.

Step 3 Load MT7612U wireless driver

Run the driver activation command:

sudo modprobe mt76x2u
