This is a Linux driver for MediaTek MT7601U USB dongle. It was written from scratch based on the vendor GPL-driver. Unlike the vendor driver this driver uses modern Linux WiFi infrastructure and should work flawlessly with NetworkManager, wicd, wpa_supplicant and such. This driver was merged into mainline and is part of official Linux kernel since version v4.2. If you are using Linux 4.2 or later there is no need to install this driver.
Building and using
To use this driver you need to upgrade your kernel to at least Linux 3.19. You also have to grab a copy of the firmware from the vendor driver. Download the vendor driver (see section below) and copy file MT7601U.bin to /lib/firmware:

Suggest you try 16.07 (Slackware) or 16.08 (Xenial) instead.....
or 17.06 (Xenial) from

The kernels in 16.07 and 16.08 are too old - so no they don't have the driver....you need 4.9+jss83 wrote:Thanks for the reply, I am basically looking for one that has the mt7601u USB WiFi Driver built in. I am using xenialpup64 but it is giving me some trouble and pc gets hanged very soon.
Does these have that driver?

Mick's change_kernels tool works in Puppies that have their kernel modules (like the wifi drivers) in a separate zdrv.sfs file. This started with Puppies like Tahr605 or Slacko630.wimpy wrote:Would it not be possible for someone to write a kernel changer for such wifi drivers, so that users of earlier stable kernels such as Lucid, Precise, etc could also enjoy wireless comms with these adapters?
