Summary

Adds an optional automated installation method to the README. The installer handles:

  • Distro detection (Fedora, RHEL, Ubuntu/Debian, Arch)
  • Build dependency installation
  • Driver compilation & installation
  • In-tree module blacklisting (necessary to avoid symbol conflicts)
  • DKMS registration (survives kernel updates)
  • Initramfs rebuild
  • Automated uninstall too

Why

Many users struggle with manual compilation — especially around blacklisting conflicting in-tree modules, DKMS setup, and initramfs rebuild. The curl | bash approach gives them a zero-friction option.

Linux 7.1-rc5 already has mt7902 included, so this repo will most likely be obsolete soon.

Good news! Just tried out rc-5 kernel and the driver works correctly, it's embedded in mt7921e it seems for some reason.

Bluetooth is under btusb, thought it'd be included under btmtk.

Hopefully both drivers will be backported across updates.
