Before you do, would you mind posting the output of

 lsusb -v -d 0e8d:7610

and the last ~15 lines of the "dmesg" output after plugging in the
device and  having done a "dmesg --clear" prior to that.

Thanks,
 Heinz

Trying to compile the vendor's support for the chipset you site.
The vendor's driver is
mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916.tar.bz2

but, it will not compile due to errors in their assignment
statements, and non-existent struct type  OSFSInfo

What a total bummer!!!
I will be getting back to the vendor and try to get my money back.

This is the RT2860 chipset, and not an RT55xx.
AFAIK, it's not yet supported.

I did try to compile the manufacturer's supplied driver,
but compilation fails miserably.

I uploaded the very verbose output of

Thank you Birger.
I downloaded the files mentioned in those tips.
Bet before I build the Ralink provided driver, I
will recompile the fedora kernel from source
and enable the Experimental driver which supports
RT5572, and try that out.
If it does not work, I will fall back on recompiling
the driver your link led me to.

Kind regards,

JD

[Birger Monsen]

Can you find any hints here? This describes installing the vendor driver. The usb vendor
and product ids are the same, so yours ought to be the same as this.

Maintaining a driver manually sucks, but it may help until the open source driver works
for your dongle.

I finally received the item.
I plugged it in and kernel recognizes it as:

[  192.473996] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: MediaTek
[  192.473999] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 1.0

And since the file

  has the following config line:
config RT2800USB_RT55XX

  This adds support for rt55xx wireless chipset family to the

How do I get there from here ?  :) :)

The seller finally got back to me:
"Thank you for your email
The product is RT5572 chip
Thank you"

So, web page http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters
says it is supported.
Apparently it is one of the drivers supported by the rt2800usb driver.
In the current updated kernel source, I find it in the file
BUILD/kernel-3.19.fc21/linux-3.19.7-200.fc21.x86_64/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/Kconfig

which has the following config line:

config RT2800USB_RT55XX
        bool "rt2800usb - Include support for rt55xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        ---help---
          This adds support for rt55xx wireless chipset family to the
          rt2800usb driver.
          Supported chips: RT5572

Since it is experimental, I suspect that I will face some problems.

But is it not possible that rt5572 is used in both?
So the seller's statement might be wrong re: the
chipset. Not so strange.
Some sellers probably  have no real clue.

SV: Is this usb wifi plug supported?

[Birger Monsen]

Impossible to say without knowing which chip set it uses. And manufacturers sometimes
don't tell you that because they want to be able to switch if a different chip becomes
cheaper.

With kind regards
Birger

Possible MediaTek MT7610U chipset, as is:
http://hprath.com/2014/06/cisco-linksys-ae6000-ac580-media-tek-mt7610u-mt...

an if so, it is not an in-tree kernel module, so you can draw your own conclusion.

Rather read this:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2015-January/457791.html

slower than the questionable in practice 5GHz "AC600" , but at least should
work

There is an inconsistency in your and/or seller's? aforementioned statements.
