I'm currently trying to bring to life MT7601U Wi-Fi dongle. I have managed the module to work and lsmod shows that mt7601Usta is loaded (but the module reports used by -> 0). Now I'm having trouble with setting up the interface which doesn't show up in ifconfig nor iwconfig output.
I have followed this guide to configure the rest of the files, although the board in question is Pine 64. However, executing sudo ifup ra0 gives following:
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run_parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
Failed to bring up ra0.
Is there something else that needs to be done so that the interface appears and can be used? The board is running Ubuntu and it seems to me like Linux / network related question as the hardware part is recognized.
Edit: The kernel in question is 3.10.x, so this dongle doesn't yet work 'out of box'.
Edit2: lsusb output as requested (only relevant output): Bus 001 Device 006: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter
Edit3: Full dmesg output.
