I have been using the 5370 driver for usb wifi dongle successfully with 
ability to support both Master and Managed mode with no issues whatsoever.

However last batch of wifi dongles delivered no longer work and lsusb shows
  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. 
instead of 
  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless 
Adapter

I expected the 7601 drivers to be installed in my build (Debian 
3.8.13-bone68, which I am stuck with for now due to changes in bone69 and 
up that makes using LCD and Audio Cape together an issue 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/beagleboard/beaglebone-black/2dXgKp9T8_g>)
 
but this doesn't appear to be the case.

Powering with external 5V, and ensuring usb dongle is inserted prior to 
power up.

dmesg shows 
[    1.097202] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using musb-hdrc
[    1.216778] usb 1-1: default language 0x0409

Running lsmod shows no indication of wifi driver

I have also tried building various 7601 driver sources but am unable to get 
both managed and master mode working.

Does/should 3.8.13-bone68 support 7601 driver? If so what could I be doing 
wrong.

If not supported, any suggestion on source files to build in order to 
support both managed and master mode.

This feels like a pretty solid wall I have hit and would appreciate any 
assistance
