Is there a functional driver for Mediatek MT7610 based Wireless USB adapter?

Question

I just purchased an AC600 Mediatek MT7610 dualband WiFi USB adapter. The manufacturer pledges to be supported or compatible with Ubuntu. Nevertheless the driver files that come in the package do not compile or 'make' by following the instructions included.

Additionally, while trying to install it I got my former WiFi adapter disabled. Thanks to a good samaritan in AskUbuntu I got the old driver up and running again and learned the way to recover it. Nevertheless I would like to get the my new adapter installed.

Does someone have an operating driver for this device in Ubuntu or have been able to compile the sources that come with the item?

Once I connect the dongle in a USB port I get the following output from lsusb and dmesg commands:

Ubu1:~$ lsusb

And:

Ubu1:~$ dmesg

I can provide the drivers that come with the device if needed. But surely someone stumbled on this before and has already resolved the issue.

Whatever clue I can get will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your kind attention.

This is the output of the make command indicated in 'How to install TP-LINK T2UH (...)'

I hope it brings light into the problem. Thanks for your help.
