when is lite with 4.19 linux kernel coming out?

What a waste of everyone's time.

I've given up this endeavor and have deleted kernel 4.19.0.  I won't move further on this.

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 13b1:003e Linksys AE6000 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter [MediaTek MT7610U]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 12c9:1001 
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I see in synaptic the headers are installed.  The driver shows in /lib/modules/4.19.0/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/ with several .ko files.  If I do a modprobe it comes back with 'Module not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.0'

Any ideas?

Well I'm confused. You don't need to change to a newer kernel to get wifi working especially the one the thread jumper mentioned which had support all the way back to Deb 7.. What adapter? : lsusb Enter result in synaptic search box : Voila! : Linux wireless firmware packages. Read the description for list of availability. The wifi stick "worked temporarily". Gee it must have run on firmware from somewhere.

The headers are included - http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/pool/main/l/lite-kernel/

Well, it seems like even upgrading to 4.19 is fruitless because the linux-headers for 4.19 can't be downloaded because they can't be found.  Any updates to the kernels revert to 4.15 although uname -r shows 4.19.0.

Well, I finally got around to correctly install kernel 4.19, luckily, I didn't lose any data.  However, the driver still doesn't auto load.  I see the driver in /lib/firmware/mt7610u.bin.  When I do a modprobe, it says it cannot be found in /lib/modules. What is the correct way to do this?

You can use LITE TWEAKS to install any kernel from 3.19 thru 5.2 (I believe the exact range).
Within Tweaks is a Kernel installer and Kernel remover as well.

The reason is last year I got a wifi stick and got it to work temporally, but only to lose the settings with new kernels installs.  Then it failed completely after the new kernels came around.  Today I looked around and find this wifi driver would work as plug and play in linux kernel 4.19.  Sooo, I tried the new easyos 2.1 with the 4.19 kernel and it works out of the box.  I understand lite 4.6 will come out with linux kernel 4.17.  So, does that mean waiting for another year or so for a new kernel in lite?
