I am trying to install WAYONA WYN-12 Mini USB adapter drivers for LInux / Ubuntu 18.04. The CD contents are instruction less and gives absolutely no idea what to do with the content. Also I tried the following solution posted a lot of time ago but now it is asking for 'username' and 'password'.

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/porjo/mt7601u.git 
cd mt7601/src
make
sudo make install
sudo mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
sudo cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
sudo modprobe mt7601u

Following is the output of lsusb with the WiFi adapter plugged:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04f2:b40e Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd HP Truevision HD camera
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

  • This means that this repo is made private. You can't clone it.

This wireless device 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter is natively supported by Linux kernel.

You don't need any 3rd party drivers for it.

The git repo you mentioned is obsolete and not available any more.
