Boot with the device connected, try to use it, then upload your dmesg and lsmod to a pastebin site and post the links.

Any news? I have same problem i can't connect in my raspberry pi zero.

This USB dongle has a Mediatek MT7610U chipset. There are only vendor provided drivers available (nothing in the mainline kernel) and their quality is best described as crap (and I'm being extremely polite about the code). Until Mediatek get their sh1t together and upstream a proper driver to the Linux kernel, or someone in the open source community does the work for them, we will not support it.

I see this driver on openelec, can we use that?

OE uses the crap driver. Read post #6.
