I've followed the procedure in Ralink MT7601U (148f:7601) Wi-Fi adapter installation in order to install the appropriate driver for my brand new Ralink WIFI Dongle.
I downloaded the source code from http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/mt7601u-usb/ (and eventually tried a patch from http://www.mediafire.com/download/fezezv1u28y7eey/rt2870-mt7601Usta-kuid_t-kgid_t.patch, even though it seems only to work with version 20130913).
But it won't compile on 14.10:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic build-essential
tar xjf mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916.tar.bz2
cd mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916
make
Returns the following:

The patch fixes this error, but produces something new:

cd mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916
