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.

I'm trying to build driver for my WiFi dongle which reports as rtl8191SU, however with no luck as the official drivers from RealTek seems only to go to kernel version 3.0.2, while the current version of my kernel is 3.10...

Moreover this is on arm64 architecture (see Pine 64 project).

The official drivers give multiple errors when compiling e.g.:

field 'xmit_tasklet' has incomplete type

field 'recv_tasklet' has incomplete type

...

which seems to be due to kernel version mismatch.

The driver in question seems to be in fact rtl8712, which is what is downloaded from the realtek website in the end.
Is there some new version of this driver for Ubuntu and newer kernels, or alternative?

Background: I'm trying to build my program but first I need to set up libraries in NetBeans. My project is using GLU and therefore I installed libglu-dev. I didn't note the location where the libraries were located and now I can't find them.

I've switched to Linux just a few days ago and so far I'm very content with it, however I couldn't google this one out and became frustrated. Is there way to find out where files of package were installed without running the installation again? I mean if I got library xxx and installed it some time ago, is there some-command xxx that will print this info?

I've already tried locate, find and whereis commands, but either I'm missing something or I just can't do it correctly. For libglu, locate returns:

/usr/share/bug/libglu1-mesa
/usr/share/bug/libglu1-mesa/control
/usr/share/bug/libglu1-mesa/script
/usr/share/doc/libglu1-mesa
/usr/share/doc/libglu1-mesa/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libglu1-mesa/copyright
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libglu1-mesa
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libglu1-mesa:i386.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libglu1-mesa:i386.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libglu1-mesa:i386.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libglu1-mesa:i386.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libglu1-mesa:i386.shlibs

The other two commands fail to find anything. Now locate did its job, but I'm sure none of those paths is where the library actually resides (at least everything I was linking so far was in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib).

libglu was introduced just as example. I'm looking for a general solution for this problem.

libraries find locate
