Seems that you shouldn't have needed to do this manually. I'd think
"apt" would be able to install the files. Especially as the current BBB IoT
image seems to have installed it and I don't even have a WiFi module!
debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo find / -iname "mt7601u*"

{Don't know about those 3.8.13 entries, but the search seems to be picking
up that "firmware-misc-nonfree" which is fairly recent}
I'd likely do
sudo apt update
sudo apt install firmware-misc-nonfree
on your system and check...
