I am trying to install a device driver for a RaLink USB WiFi adapter
(ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp.). The instructions are incomprehensible.
Finally figured out the instructions (complicated), but when I try to "make" the driver, I get error 1 and error 2 output. It doesn't tell me what is wrong, though I suspect some files are missing from the directory. That doesn't even make sense. What do exit codes error 1 and error 2 mean?
Thanks for your help

I have updated my question. I have installed the driver, but my Ubuntu 14 still does not recognize the network adapter.

Please clarify. Did you try the process in my link? Did 'make' and 'sudo make install' go well? Any clues in the log?dmesg | grep 7601

No. Make install did not work. I was unable to install the driver due to errors 1 and 2. It also said “exiting directory†in two places in the output. I also have no other internet connection available at home.

It is impossible to troubleshoot without more complete details; however, I suggest that you download the .iso for Ubuntu 16.04.4 and I'm confident that your device will work out of the box.
