Ubuntu version:18.04 Kernel version:5.0.0 Wireless USB adapter:Mercury(Mw150UH)

Ralink Technology

Kernel version

I don't really understand what I'm doing. I tried to do Ralink MT7601U (148f:7601) Wi-Fi adapter installation But didn't work. Also tried NDISwrapper didn't work. Mercury MW150UH USB adapter works on Windows 10 with no problem. 

unuruu@unuruu-Inspiron-3520:~$ usb-devices |  awk '/7601/' RS=
T:  Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 15 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.01 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=148f ProdID=7601 Rev=00.00
S:  Manufacturer=MediaTek
S:  Product=802.11 n WLAN
S:  SerialNumber=1.0
C:  #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=160mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 8 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=option

Result is nothing

unuruu@unuruu-Inspiron-3520:~$ dmesg | grep mt76
unuruu@unuruu-Inspiron-3520:~$

What else can I try?

sudo apt install git build-essential dkms
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/mt7601u.git
sudo dkms add ./mt7601u
sudo dkms install mt7601u/1.0

Reboot and plug the USB in. This will only fix the vendor request errors in the 5.0 kernels but the module should work.

This also works for EDUP-MS8552S

  • Why don't you add a dkms.conf to automate the "kernel update" procedure? – Pilot6 Nov 17 '19 at 15:02

    Ok, done. Might use it for my cheap dongle, cost an entire $6.57 – Jeremy31 Nov 17 '19 at 15:14
  • `unuruu@unuruu-Inspiron-3520:~$ sudo dkms install mt7601u/1.0

    Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

    Building module: cleaning build area...(bad exit status: 2) 'make' all KVER=5.0.0-36-generic...(bad exit status: 2) ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for mt7601u: 1.0 not found Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.0.0-36-generic (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/mt7601u/1.0/build/make.log for more information.` And what that mean???

  • Let me install a 5.0 kernel and take a look – Jeremy31 Nov 17 '19 at 15:27

    Ok, fixed that do sudo dkms remove mt7601u/1.0 --all then cd ~/mt7601u && git pull then sudo dkms add . be sure to include the . on that command, then sudo dkms install mt7601u/1.0 – Jeremy31 Nov 17 '19 at 15:41
  • @Jeremy31 now it is working. Thank you for your hard work. And i didn't understand what you did. – Unurbyr Ba Nov 17 '19 at 16:10
  • I have a similar device that I recently got working thanks to comment 53 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1716301 At least we aren't using Ubuntu 16.04 with the 4.4 kernel as that needed usb-modeswitch and a udev rule to get it to switch from the 148f:2878 to the 148f:7601 – Jeremy31 Nov 17 '19 at 17:06
