    em1: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

    lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536

    virbr0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

    So, what is missing as far as drivers, or apps ????

There seem to be lots of "MediaTeK 7610" dongles with various chips inside. You could try adding your USB id to the list of devices supported by the rt2800usb module:

https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?309580-Mediatek-MT7610-Ralink-RT2870

If this fails you might at least get the details for your chipset.

There is also: https://github.com/ulli-kroll/mt7610u/

   Any new MediaTek chip <https://wikidevi.com/wiki/MediaTek>. MediaTek
   drivers can be downloaded from:
   http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/

Which includes my wifi dongle (mt7610U) - U stands for USB.

Can anyone suggest a wifi 300 or 600 mbps usb dongle that will work
with multiple fedora machines ranging from fc18 to fc27 ?
Thanx!
