As state in the README
file, you don't need to compile the driver separately if your kernel version (as reported by uname -r
) is 4.2
or newer. This exact driver is included in the kernel.
Thank you but does not work in 4.4+ kernels, I've tried all of them. Include Fedora now. So is broken. I'm trying to get some help from their foruns, but I will try to install in an older vesion.
Do you see anything of note in the kernel logs when you plug the device in?
There are some dmesg errors posted at https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=247811&p=1331530#p1331394
Here the Kernel logs: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=247811&p=1331547#p1331547
What kind of dongle is that? Could you post a link to where you bought them or a photo?

OK, so it's one of those $2-3 ones :) I think this is a duplicated of bug #64. It appears that whoever is making those cheap dongles have released a new revision which doesn't work well with this driver. You can try the workaround mentioned in bug #64 or wait until I get my hand on one of those dongles (delivery from China takes a bit...). It's not related to the kernel version, then.
It's worked for my situation too:
"I think I have a solution (it has worked for me!). As root, run:
ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link
This will prevent systemd to create the long network interfaces names. It seems some firmwares don't play well with them. You must unplug-plug the USB dongle (or restart of it is internal).
This has worked for me."
Hi Friends, I tried to compile this driver in all well known distros (Mint, Debian, Ubuntu and Manjaro), in all of them I've got "Makefile:288 recipe for target 'LINUX' failed.
I can't get MT7601u work in this newer version, so I have a lof of these adapters, I can't give up on them.
Thank you!
