GNU/Linux Kali Installing MediaTek Wireless Firmware Guide

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-step How to Install Ralink/MediaTek Wireless PCIe/SDIO/USB Adapters Driver Firmware in Kali GNU/Linux Desktop.

And to make use of the Latest MediaTek MT76 Driver on Debian it’s enough to dispose of an Updated Linux Kernel.

Especially relevant: this Driver is supplied from Linux 4.19 but some important Connection Issues has been fixed only starting from the 5.4.1 Kernel release.

What may be missing in Kali is just the MediaTek Proprietary Firmware!
