file downloaded wrong one. should have been mt7601-4.1.6-v7-810.tar.gz. note "-v7" , lower case in name "mt7601".

however, latest code, 4.1.xx(-v7)+ includes mt7601 driver needs firmware loading not yet included in firmware-ralink package. why see error have in dmesg. can install firmware using command

code: select all

sudo wget https://github.com/porjo/mt7601/raw/master/src/mcu/bin/mt7601.bin -o /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin

after loading firmware reboot activate driver. note case of text in filenames linux treats text case sensitive unlike windows file name upper case letters not same same name using lower case letters.
