Não é possível instalar o driver MediaTek MT7610U (RT2860)

Question

Eu tentei seguir as instruções de outra pergunta aqui: Como para instalar o driver MediaTek MT7610U (RT2860) mas, infelizmente, até mesmo a primeira etapa falha.

Deixe-me dar um passo atrás: SO: Ubuntu 14.04

Saída relevante do dmesg:

O MediaTek é o dispositivo em questão. Pesquisando o ID me trouxe para a pergunta acima e um link para os drivers do site MediaTek.

Eu tentei seguir as instruções dessa pergunta, mas nem consegui compilar o driver:

make[2]: *** [/home/anpan/tmp/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.o] Error 1

make: *** [LINUX] Error 2

build-essential e linux-headers-generic são ambos instalados.
