I don't mean to sound pessimistic but my experience of fighting to get a Ralink USB dongle working many years ago left me disappointed. I was trying to use an opensource driver back then and it was terribly unstable. If you can, I recommend to go back to the shop and buy something with an atheros chipset which worked for me every time with in-kernel drivers. > lspci does not say anything about this device.

Go the the MediaTek website and download the appropriate linux driver. Then follow instructions here to install it manually: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2206873 Finally modprobe the newly built mt7601Usta module and the device should hopefully show up. -- Regards, Mick
