        Build finished. Seemingly no change. Maybe out/ is supposed to be like this. Will flash tomorrow and check.

          Flashed and checked with lsmod, modinfo and find. It looks like, despite everything, the module was still not installed.

            device/lge/hammerhead/BoardConfig.mk confirms that the configuration file I've been working with is the right one:

            # Define kernel config for inline building
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := cyanogenmod_hammerhead_defconfig
TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/lge/hammerhead

            device/lge/hammerhead/init.hammerhead.rc has something that could be relevant:

              # wifi
    chown wifi system /persist/wifi
    insmod /system/lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko

            I'll add another insmod line for mt7601u and see what happens. My guess is it will either break something or do nothing.

              I tried mkap, which failed to push anything to the device, but it did create ./out/target/product/hammerhead/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/include/config/mt7601u.h. I also noticed that all the .h files in obj/KERNEL_OBJ/include/config/ are empty.

              Flashed, replaced system image, no change.

                I am literally unable to tell you what happened next, because all my posts are being flagged as spam.

                  @zehkira maybe because of external links. Happens sometimes.

                      @zehkira I congratulate you on your remarkable persistence, even though I have little understanding of what you have been doing.
