minus-squareksynwa@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoAre you sure your adapter does not work out of the box? Ubuntu seems to have the driver for it already at: /usr/lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin Maybe you can try sudo modprobe mt7601u and see if that makes it work.
minus-squareHelix 🧬@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoThat’s the firmware, not the driver. The driver seems to be the Ralink rt2870sta. Even Debian, which is fairly restrictive, has a way easier process to load the firmware with the Kernel driver: https://wiki.debian.org/rt2870sta
