Hi guys
I'm not able to let this dongle work:

This is the output of lsusb:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter

Some help?
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks, and yes I googled around a lot, but unfortunately all that posts are referring to old kernel builts, when driver was not supported.
Now official raspbian kernel supports it, and it see the dongle straigt away, so all that links, drivers etc are not anymore updated, and often not even valid anymore.
But, fot reasons I don't know, runeaudio does not support it directly, that's the reasons I'm here.....

Some one else? That dongle, due to the price, it's extremely interesting for these applications.... maybe someone was able to let it work?

Hi hondagx35

Just read your answer, we wrote posts together

I'm in RPI model B, Downloaded the firmware (a "u" is missing in your code) but still nothig.

Do I need to change dongle? If yes, what are the supported ones?

Thanks for support

I know this one works with a 1B.
Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]

I have another one I bought for less than $10 that works too but I can't seem to find it. I did find a few wireless mouse so it wasn't a waist of time.

My guess you can get your existing one working with the drivers. Have you tried installing noob or a different OS?

I wish you could just swing by and I'd help you.
