Wireless Adapter Ralink MT7601U is not working.

Hello guys. I installed arch a week ago and I'm trying to get my wireless adapter work. The adapter is Ralink MT7601U Wireless Adapter. As far as I know kernels above 4 are having driver for mt7601u adpaters. I tried following command but still it isn't working.

modprobe mt7601u

Following is my dmesg

[    5.414190] mt7601u: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

Did you install the package linux-firmware as mentioned in the install guide?
