MT7601 Wifi Adapter

**jmumby** · May 21st, 2016

Hi,

I am trying to get this dongle to work. My Ubuntu version is 16.04 and the Kernel should support the adapter out of the box.

Code:

lsusb
Bus 001 Device 043: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter

Code:

iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.
eth0      no wireless extensions.

The driver just doesn't seem to bind to the hardware.

Any suggestions to further troubleshoot?

Thanks
