Lubuntu 22.04 won't recognize Ralink MT7601U, dmesg reports disagreement re symbol version

Yes, it is yet another Ralink MT7601U question... but the others aren't about my exact situation, so here goes.

Well, I:

• Installed Lubuntu 22.04 (not for myself - I hate systemd with a passion; please get Canonical to drop it; but I digress).
• Stuck the dongle in my USB port.
• See the device with lsusb (ID 148f:7601).
• installed a bunch of packages, like linux-modules and linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r). I have the rt2800usb module installed.
• rebooted for good luck

I don't see the interface, e.g. with ip link show. And if I try to modprobe 2800usb, I get lots of symbol disagreement errors in /var/log/kern.log:

[prefix here] rt2x00lib: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_iterate_interfaces
[prefix here] rt2x00lib: Unknown symbol ieee80211_iterate_interfaces (err -22)

and so on for several dozen symbols.

Why is this happening? Can I solve the problem by identify the offending module and blacklisting it?

Well I have two solutions for you and both of them are weird but may helpful

if lsusb gives this output

1. Dual boot with windows 10 (don't know works or not with 11 or 7) :

• First boot with window turn on wifi.
• Restart and boot with linux.
• It just works for me.
• but you need to do it every time you turn your PC on.

It works for me in various distros like mint, mx linux and debian based distros.

2. Install antix linux

• Antix linux uses it's own kernel 4.9.0-326-antix.1-amd64-smp (I don't know if it is too old) which includes working driver for MT7601U and it is just plug and play you don't need to do anything for it,
• but you may not like the distro it comes with window managers if you care about it you can install any of your favorite DE.
