Feel free to create a tested pull request which add whatever wifi module. Please mention if non-free firmware is required in the PR.
I was able to get my usb wifi working by using a debian repo:
I was not able to get my RA usb device working under debian, though I tried the instructions suggested I follow under https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb.
When I issue the command "lsusb", this is what I see:
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 148f:5372 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5372 Wireless Adapter Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
But, when I "ip a", wlan0 does not show and when I "ip link set wlan0 up" I get: Cannot find device "wlan0"
Can't configure the device because I can't see it!
Of course I did apt-get install firmware-ralink
first, and rebooted the system.
Please post the result for dmesg -w after you have plugged the device. The driver should be there.

There seems to be no evidence of the RA driver!

OK, this is interesting:

lsmod shows cfg80211 356431 1 8723bs
which is expected.
Could this be a hardware issue? I'm trying to use a Panda Wireless PAU06 (which proves to work well on my Raspberry PI 2/3). Flakeman2, what usb wifi hardware are you using?
I think that's the same one I'm using. I bought this one on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JDVRCI0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I used longsleep's basic ubuntu xerial kernel/image:
https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/longsleep/pine64-images/ubuntu/
After booting up I added the debian repo and installed the firmware-ralink package.
Yup, same one! The one difference is that I am using longsleep's Debian kernel/image. I think I'll try the Ubuntu image together with the Debian repos, since getting usb wifi working is very important to me. Thanks Flakeman2 for your feedback!
Same result with Ubuntu as with Debian. It looks to be a hardware/powersupply issue, since this is what we see from ubuntu@localhost:~$ dmesg -w | grep wlan ` [ 8.268588] sunxi-wlan wlan.26: wlan_busnum (1) [ 8.273637] sunxi-wlan wlan.26: Missing wlan_power.

` The power-supply adapter is a Kootek 5V: 2500mA unit I use with my Pi 3. Any comments?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is some sort of hardware issue - but the power supply seems to be OK. Now I'm thinking that my Pine64 USB ports are not delivering enough power to the dongle. Strange the beast shows up when I issue "lsusb". Now 'bout ready to give up.
I've got the same problem (no wifi, same messages in dmesg than tgrzybow) but this time with the "official" pine wifi adaptor

Correction: it was due to some configuration (using iwconfig) missing
What is the solution ?? I am facing same problem !!
I had to reapply the whole iwconfig setup from scratch because some initial steps were not performed See http://askubuntu.com/questions/138472/how-do-i-connect-to-a-wpa-wifi-network-using-the-command-line for example
I am trying to plug a usb wifi dongle but without success. Actually I tried several of them and none works. When I try to compile the modules it fails.
Is there a plan to make usb wifi dongle work?
