No. The instructions are the same no matter what distro you use. You need kernel-headers, you need working git, gcc, make and the likes, then you can just simply use this script I just made for you:

#!/bin/bash
git clone https://github.com/porjo/mt7601/
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then echo "Error fetching sources."; exit 1; fi
cd mt7601

Copy code

Save the script to some file, like e.g. mt76.sh and execute it -- voila, you now have the driver compiled and installed. I do repeat, though: you MUST have working kernel-headers installed properly.

There is no generic way of installing drivers, it all depends on what chipset the USB-dongle uses -- some drivers are as simple as "make && make install" and some require extra fiddling, like e.g. getting MT7601U working right does. Also, if you're using one of Loboris's images then there are probably no kernel-headers installed and you need those in order to be able to compile drivers in the first place.

The dongle you linked to uses an MT7601U - chipset, I have one of those dongles myself. There are plenty of instructions on the Internet on how to build drivers for it and the Armbian - distro already has the driver built-in.
