I just bought a USB wi-fi dongle using the MediaTek MT7610U (RT2860) chipset, and the drivers from their website:http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/mt7610u-usb/won't compile, with this errorktweed@PC-BL100TA ~/Desktop/drivers $ makemake -C toolsmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/ktweed/Desktop/drivers/tools'gcc -g bin2h.c -o bin2hmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ktweed/Desktop/drivers/tools'/home/ktweed/Desktop/drivers/tools/bin2hchipset = mt7650uchipset = mt7630uchipset = mt7610ucp -f os/linux/Makefile.6 /home/ktweed/Desktop/drivers/os/linux/Makefilemake -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-89-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/ktweed/Desktop/drivers/os/linux modulesmake[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/3.2.0-89-generic/build' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'.

I've tried everything, and nothing works. If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks!Edit:The CD that came with the USB Wifi has drivers for a realtek 8188CUS, and those don't work either. Does this help?
MediaTek MT7610U (RT2860) driver won't compile
linux mint;wifi;usb;source code
From lsusb output, 148f:7601, it should be a MT7601U chip not MT7610U. Please node, Mediatek official site seem swap the link between them, but I'm not very sure about this.I believe some guys have made good progress on MT7601U, refer to https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7601u You can see, that driver are committed to 4.2 kernel.I have a MT7610U usb adapter, I'm very sure I cannot use MT7601U driver, after I've tried so many drivers.
