Still my wifi doesnt work .It used to work by making my own by cloning from git in debian jessy but in xenial , it is not working at all.

I clone it from here :

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git

sudo apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/flexiti/mt7601.git 

cd mt7601

make clean 

make

sudo make install

sudo mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/

sudo cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/

sudo modprobe mt7601Usta

 

 

my /etc/network/interfaces/ gives

 

 

# Wireless adapter #1
allow-hotplug ra0
#auto ra0
#iface ra0 inet static
#	wpa-ssid SSID
#	wpa-psk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

g@orangepipc:~$ ifconfig ra0

whats wrong with me ? in nmtui it is not visible . Iam using orange pi pc. kindly help.

Network Manager manages only interfaces not configured elsewhere. Remove it from /etc/network/interfaces first if you want it to be managed by NM.

You mean all of this ?

# Wired adapter #1
allow-hotplug eth0
no-auto-down eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#address 192.168.0.100
#netmask 255.255.255.0
#gateway 192.168.0.1
#dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
#	hwaddress ether # if you want to set MAC manually
#	pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 3838 # setting MTU for DHCP, static just: mtu 3838


# Wireless adapter #1
allow-hotplug ra0
#auto ra0
#iface ra0 inet dhcp
#	wpa-ssid mijlu
#	wpa-psk queens123
# to generate proper encrypted key: wpa_passphrase mijlu queens123


# Local loopback
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug ra0

and this (actually irrelevant).

@Igor so now  I should remove everything  in /etc/network/interfaces

Exactly, the best interfaces file with recent Armbian builds on all boards except Lamobo R1 looks like this: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/network/interfaces.network-manager

Like is written here. Just try.

looks like doesnt work with my already maked mt7601Usta module . I will do it again after removing.

@tkaiser Do you want  me to put the file in lib/config/network/interfaces.network-manager  coz the  file is in /etc/network/    ?

clone again but doesnt work my nmcli :

No, just use an empty /etc/network/interfaces or comment at least the ra0 line out. Then restart the board, run

TERM=linux sudo nmtui

and in case it still doesn't work follow the usual procedure: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/#how-to-provide-boot-logs-for-inspection

doesn't work so Im back to Debian,  but Debian 2.25  desktop is not available for download so 2.20 will suffice 

Eg. try etc/network/interfaces/:
