Mt7601 mac os driver
MT7601U Linux driver
Note: Kernel 4.2 has been released which contains a driver for mt7601u, this repository is now deprecated.
This repo is forked from [imZack/mt7601] (https://github.com/imZack/mt7601) and I have added binary packages for this version.
imZack added some features for this driver:
- Add supports for Xiaomi MiniWifi USB_DEVICE(0x2717,0x4106)
- Add supports for Synology DS713+ (x86 cedarview)
Many cheap USB wifi dongles use the MediaTek MT7601U chip.
Unfortunately, there is no driver in Linux kernel source tree which can work with this chip, yet. This repository is based on the original driver released by MediaTek which was rejected from Linux kernel because of the poor code quality. The repository includes various stability and performance improvements for kernels >= 3.x and has been tested with the following kernels:
- 3.15.10-200.fc20.x86_64
- 3.16.1-301.fc21.x86_64
- 3.16.1-301.fc21.i686
- 3.17.0-0.rc2.git3.1.fc22.i686
- 3.17.0-0.rc2.git3.1.fc22.x86_64
- 3.12.26-1.20140808git4ab8abb.rpfr20.armv6hl.bcm2708
Usage for Synology DS713+
Now you have to copy os/linux/mt7601Usta.ko and RT2870STA.dat to your target machine.
The interface will be ra0.
Currently the DSM WebGUI will not be able to use the wifi dongle so far, but it works with command line.
Unofficial mt7601u driver
For kernels 3.19 and later a new mac80211 driver was written from scratch by the community. It was done because there is very little chance that this vendor driver will ever become part of official Linux kernel. If you have Linux kernel version between 3.19 and 4.2 you can download the new driver from https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7601u. If you have Linux 4.2 or later the new driver is already part of the kernel (it’s called mt7601u). Note that from Linux 4.2 on you will have to blacklist the mt7601u driver to continue using code from this repository.
First install kernel-devel for your Linux distro
If the module has loaded OK, you should see mt7601Usta listed in the output of lsmod and a new network interface ra0 should be present in the output of ip link .
If all goes well, you can permanently install the driver with make install .
In order to successfully compile this driver for Gentoo, you must compile your kernel with the appropriate wireless extensions included. One way to do that is by enabling Cisco/Aironet 34X/35X/4500/4800 PCMCIA cards wireless module. If you see errors when compiling the driver, check to see if you have the necessary wireless extensions by running zgrep -i wext /proc/config.gz . The output should look something like:

Wireless usb dongle Ralink/Mediatek MT7601 for Sierra?
norwayRainyday
Thanks for your great forums.
Finally I got a decent Hackintosh on my notebook and hopefully display/Audio/Ethernet all working like a charm!
I know experts doesn’t recommend USB dongles but it’s the only option/chance which I have.
It’s Ralink/Mediatek MT7601 usb wifi dongle. Can I use it on my Sierra?
Please give me a solution. Thanks so much.

@RehabMan I really need your help.
What ever I’ve done so far altogether only happened wit your great help and collaboration. I thank you ∞ times.
It’s last major stuff i really need to have a nice user experience with macOS. Please tell me this hardware has any driver/kext for sierra? Can I use it?

As per FAQ, USB WiFi is not recommended.
And the FAQ has recommendations for built-in PCIe WiFi.

MT7601U Linux driver
Many cheap USB wifi dongles use the MT7601U chip.
Unfortunately, the driver is not part of the Linux kernel source tree (yet?). This repository contains:
- source code from DPO_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.4_20130913.tar.bz2 (md5sum 5f440dccc8bc952745a191994fc34699 )
- file DPO_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.4_20130913-Linux-3.17.0-v2.patch has been applied
The patch improves stability and performance for kernels >= 3.x
First install kernel-devel for your Linux distro
If the module has loaded OK, you should see mt7601Usta listed in the output of lsmod and a new network interface ra0 should be present in the output of ip link .
If all goes well, you can permanently install the driver with make install .

Clone repository and type following to build driver:
