Need help with USB WIFI Adapter on ROC-RK3323-CC...
I have spent many hours and am extremely frustrated. I installed image "ROC-RK3328-CC_Debian9-Arch64_20180525.img" on a new Renegade board and plugged in a compatible USB Wireless adapter "Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter" but when I run 'ifconfig -a' or 'iwconfig' I am only showing lo and eth0.
Everything looks right, can anyone help what I am missing???
apt-get install firmware-misc-nonfree (installed)

lsmod returns nothing which is odd isn't it?

Also 'rfkill list all' returns nothing
It makes sense that no modules are loaded if no wireless device shows up either. Have you tried sudo insmod mt7601u to see what happens?
This image is from Armbian right? If so, you may post on the Armbian forum about MT7601 enablement on Renegade. MT7601 is a fairly standard part.
