(in the kernel package I've build there is no /etc/Wireless/..., maybe this is one reason)

But it's usually hard building some software packages without having the hardware

Yeah, I can definitely understand that. Just because something compiles without errors, doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work with the hardware.

At one point, I exited to the shell screen, then tried "/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet (my ip) up" as the source's readme suggested, but it kept telling me operation not permitted. Not that the ip was wrong, just that I didn't have permission.

Did you use the source I linked in my steps, or did you come across that 64-bit source from the ubuntu user on github?

Code:

git clone https://bitbucket.org/sanrath/mediatek_mt7610u_sta_driver_linux-64bit.git

https://bitbucket.org/sanrath/mediatek_mt7610u_sta_driver_linux-64bit

The 64-bit source compiled, but the module wouldn't load.. but that was before I installed the headers. I should try it again.
