Requiered for all installations sudo apt install -y git build-essential make autoconf libtool gcc gettext linux-headers-$(uname -r)
now you can try to install your drivers
but before i recommend to try installing the
mt7601 drivergit clone
cd declanlc-driver-mt7601usta/src
make
mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
insmod os/linux/mt7601Usta.ko
should this not work then try your mentioned drivers
rtl8188eu:git clone
cd rtl8188eu
make all
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8188eu or 8188eu
rtl8192cu:git clone
cd rtl8192cu
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8192cu or 8192cu
