AVM WLAN stick and XBOX controller

Hardware Support
1

Hi everyone, I came across a strange problem yesterday:
My AVM WLAN AC860 stick has been working reliably since the beginning, but it stops working completely as soon as I install the xone software for my XBOX One wireless pad (with Microsoft USB dongle). It is then no longer recognized until I uninstall xone. After that it works as before.
I did a little research and found information in a forum post about xone that the chip from the AVM is apparently "blacklisted" in Xone. Has anyone of you managed to get this combination to work?

It looks like [...] is based on the MediaTek MT7612 chip that is also used by the Xbox Wireless Dongle. The problem is that we have to blacklist the MT7612 driver because it interferes with xone. That causes all other MT7612 devices to stop working.

I suspect that because Microsoft is a proprietary product there won't be any solution soon IMHO.

Thanks for your thought, I saw it coming. Maybe someone can think of a solution, otherwise I'll have to buy a Bluetooth adapter and connect the pads through it.

A lot of hardware historically was made able to run in Linux down to volunteers carrying out reverse engineering. Had it not been for a Swedish 16-year-old reverse engineering we would never have been able to access DVD drives. He was put under house arrest following copyright infringement complaints by DVD manufacturers
