I forgot to mention not a single message in syslog, kern.log, or any
other log I could find. Nothing. Nada. Zero.

No, that's what I want to discover to fill an appropriate bug report
against the right component. I must admit MT7612u support is buggy as
hell. I suffer many other bugs with these devices, all of them related
to the inhability to follow AP frequency changes in the 5 GHz band,
but this one does not seems related to the wifi itself. When the bug
triggers I can send and receive packets. Only sending arp messages
seems to be missing.

I can't test the devices in Windows because I have no Windows here,
but I have four dongles, from two different manufacturers, all of them
with the MT7612U chip in it and all of them load the mt76x2u module
when plugged, so I must conclude they are using the correct device
driver/module. The problem exists with all the four dongles.
