MT7601 is similar chip like those we already support in the existing
rt2x00 driver, hence support of it should be added there. I'm going to
do this.
Ok, that makes sense, anything I can do to test or help out with here?

Hey Guys!
Writing after a long time! BTW what's the status on the rt2x00 driver?
I'm eager to try out my dongle. Everytime I need to plug this in my
raspberry pi after a dist upgrade, I need to reinstall the driver!
Please let me know if I can help in any way. Also a good news is that
I'm almost going to get my amateur radio license soon! It will be a VU3
Indian license!
Regards and 73s,
Parth Sane
