Hello everone! A few months earlier I had requested addition of the MT7601 WiFi dongle module into the kernel. I was told that the needful would be done in the rt2x00 driver.

Any pointers on what should be done to make it kernel compatible? Well, there is no kernel compatible part in this driver. With other words it should be completely rewritten or cleaned up.

Hi,
I'd say I'm midway through with c programming(part of my computer
engineering degree course) and know a decent amount of git. So yes I'm
comfortable writing code.
Also here's the link to an eBay listing for the same hardware.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/231051816145?lpid=82item=231051816145lgeo=1vectorid=229466
I think that should do the trick.
