[SOLVED] Can't install MT7630E wifi driver on Debian jessie

Hello,
in this link, https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1796
there's a how to on installing this wifi driver. It has worked even on linux mint debian edtion, so I guess it should work on BL! I've tried to install it but an output came telling me that make isn't a recognized command, so i've installed it, an then this output appears:

make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=/home/user/Downloads/MT7630E/rt2x00 modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
Makefile:8: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

UPDATE:
I've forgot to tell that I was trying that on the livecd.

is there's anyway to fix it?
thanks in advance.

Did you run the 'make' command from the extracted directory ("/MT7630E-release")

Re: [SOLVED] Can't install MT7630E wifi driver on Debian jessie

I was trying that on the livecd

Why?

If you were to do this on an installed system then I would advise you to install the kernel headers:

sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64 # change architecture as needed

I'm not sure if this would work in the live environment because of the small size of the overlayfs.

What is the device?

lspci -knn | grep -iA2 net

Well, this driver I've installed on Linux mint Debian edtion on livecd and have worked!
So I guess there's another problem IDK man
... this is the output of lspci from my current LMDE 2:

Try this method instead:
https://github.com/tobiasBora/MT7630E_3.16

To create the build environment beforehand run these commands:

sudo apt install module-assistant
sudo ma-update
sudo ma-prepare
