Ralink MT7601U (148f:7601) Wi-Fi adapter not working on Ubuntu 16.04
5,140
The problem was apparently the kernel that was corrupted because other stuff did not worked as well. I erased Ubuntu completely and than reinstalled 16.04 and the Wi-fi dongle just works and no special installation to be done.
Thanks anyway for checking and putting your comments.

I have updated my Ubuntu desktop from 14.04 to 16.04 and my Wi-Fi dongle stooped working. I've tried to follow the instructions given here but it did not work.
How can I make it work again?
Thanks guys.
EDIT
So far I've run these commands:
rfkill list all sudo modprobe mt7601u && dmesg | grep mt76
The result was:
[ 85.231948] mt7601Usta: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel [10822.191654] usbcore: registered new interface driver mt7601u
Any idea of what to do next?
EDIT2
I disabled the secured boot and it's still not working.
The result of running the previous commands again is:[ 185.695417] mt7601u 3-4:1.0: ASIC revision: 76010001 MAC revision: 76010500 [ 185.712356] mt7601u 3-4:1.0: firmware, attempted to load /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin, but failed with error -22 [ 185.712362] mt7601u 3-4:1.0: Direct firmware load for mt7601u.bin failed with error -22 [ 185.712865] mt7601u: probe of 3-4:1.0 failed with error -22 [ 185.712917] usbcore: registered new interface driver mt7601u

danp696 over 7 yearsNo additional drivers. Is it a kernel problem? If so how do I use earlier version of kernel to make it work?
