CentOS - Jun 2020 - Help needed for installing MT7601U Linux driver

Hi everyone,

My PC don't have an integrated WLAN card, so I bought an USB WIFI device
which use the MediaTek MT7601U chip(image 'dongle.jpg').
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My PC specification-
OS = CentOS 7.8.2003.
Processor = AMD Ryzen 5 1600.
Mother-Board = GA-Gigabyte A320M-S2H
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lsusb lists devices- It is in the attachments below (ls_usb)

Under /lib/modules/3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64/kernel/driver/net/wireless/ - It
is in the attachments below (wireless_list)

Under
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64/kernel/driver/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00
- It is in the attachments below (ralink_list)

lsmod list - It is in the attachments below (ls_mod)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found the github page for installing MT7601U Linux driver
"https://github.com/imZack/mt7601"

I am having trouble in building the driver as the installation process
requires Synology toolchain
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/DSM%205.1%20Tool%20Chains/>
and kernel source
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/Synology%20NAS%20GPL%20Source/5004branch/>

But I don't know which toolchain and Kernel source to install also I had to
manually load the modules rt2800usb.So if anyone have any suggestion
please let me know.

You don't need to compile the module yourself. 
Elrepo has kmod-mt7601u-4.14.108-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
As root:
yum install elrepo-release
yum install kmod-mt7601u


/BR, Louis

are you building that driver for use on a Synology DSM ?   if so, thats not
CentOS.

if not, then why are you using a synology fork of the atmel driver?
