Ralink MT7601U usb wifi kit not working properly

Usb wifi kit working properly in dual booted Windows 11. And works in Arch if reboot Win11 while connected to wifi network. But if I eject the kit once, Arch can't detect it anymore. Then $lsusb only shows the kit name but wifi icon remain in disconnected state. Then I've to boot in Win11, connect to wifi, reboot to Arch to get wifi in Arch again. Can anyone help me please?

Re: Ralink MT7601U usb wifi kit not working properly

There's another post about this adapter. Give it a look https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=272081

Other thing, did you installed the driver?

Re: Ralink MT7601U usb wifi kit not working properly

The kit is Plug&Play and has driver stored in it. I may have installed the driver for windows but never installed any for Arch. I just boot in windows, connect to wifi and reboot to arch.
I've visited the post. Linux firmware was installed from beginning and " modprobe mt7601u " is not doing anything.
