I don't know but this is the worst package in AUR. /home couldn't be mounted for some reason with this package installed. Also PC crashes after 10sec of downloading something through the dongle.

It'd be great to add a patch to stop this driver logging so much. It spams the kernel ring buffer to death and makes it impossible to use console.

I tried all possible solutions but only one work so I returned to the starting solution. I commented the other drivers and simply edit the PKGBUILD before compilation if needed. If you find a solution, please let me share.
I even added a part to uninstall the module before compiling

Had same problem as koyal13 got it to manually compile by setting LINUX_SRC in the Makefile. It seems to try to set it from LINUX_DIR but that appears not to be set.

I'm having problems to install this dkms driver on Raspberry Pi 1 (armv6h), I'm getting all time bad exit status 2. Here is the output of module build:
Building module:
cleaning build area......(bad exit status: 2)
make KERNELRELEASE=3.18.6-1-ARCH....(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.18.6-1-ARCH (armv6l)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/dkms-mt7601u-latest/v3.0.0.4/build/make.log for more information.
modprobe: WARNING: Module mt7601Usta not found.

All the output error is in Pastebin with make.log file too. Please, fix it when you will get some of free time ;)

Even after removing patch #3 as per @nous recommendation it still doesn't work for me. So currently using v3.0.0.4-2 at the moment. Works fine with both Rpi and x64. Using 148f 7601 dongle by the way. I just change pkgrel=2 to 3 so that it gets updated straight into 4 instead of into the broken 3.

v3.0.0.4-2 PKGBUILD:

I'm getting and error compiling this:
[...]
make -C SUBDIRS=/var/lib/dkms/dkms-mt7601u-latest/v3.0.0.4/build/os/linux modules
make[1]: *** SUBDIRS=/var/lib/dkms/dkms-mt7601u-latest/v3.0.0.4/build/os/linux: No such file or directory. Stop.
Makefile:394: recipe for target 'LINUX' failed
make: *** [LINUX] Error 2

However, /var/lib/dkms/dkms-mt7601u-latest/v3.0.0.4/build/os/linux does exist. Disabling patch 003 fixes the issue.

I also second @eimis' request for adding 760b ID. I use a PKGBUILD with and additional sed for this, as last line in build():
sed -i '/0x7601/a \\t{USB_DEVICE\(0x148f,0x760b\)}, \/* 360 WIFI *\/' common/rtusb_dev_id.c

Hey!
Here's how to make 148f:760b Ralink USB WiFi adapter work:
add "{USB_DEVICE(0x148f,0x760b)}" to
/var/lib/dkms/dkms-mt7601u-latest/v3.0.0.4/build/common/rtusb_dev_id.c
# cd /var/lib/dkms/dkms-mt7601u-latest/v3.0.0.4/build/
# make && make install
# dkms uninstall dkms-mt7601u-latest/v3.0.0.4 -k $(uname -r)
# dkms install --force dkms-mt7601u-latest/v3.0.0.4 -k $(uname -r)

tried to install it on a raspberry pi, it gave me the following error during package install (pacman -U):

Error! echo
