Ok. Ran this manualinstall_wififix.sh and got WiFi back up. Thank you everyone.

@rolfie
The directory usr/lib/firmware does not exist on my system. Will creating it and adding https://github.com/pauledd/mt7610u suffice?

I've changed the apt-get sequence as proposed.

/sys/class/net only contains eth0  lo

Couple dmesg lines I noticed:

@greenjeans
You may be correct on the missing firmware.
/etc/Wireless/RT2860STA only contains only RT2860STA.dat

I tried adding RT2870STA.dat from https://github.com/pauledd/mt7610u then a reboot, to no avail. Not sure if I even did it right hmm.

Distro is Refracta 11(Chimaera). Please scroll down on the code text for system info(neofetch).

Two days ago I installed zsh and ohmyzsh. After all current configurations were done I ran:

apt-get autoclean; cmac; .z; apt-get dist-upgrade; apt-get upgrade; apt-get update; reset

Now:
No power to usb WiFi dongle (PAU0B AC600), yet it's ID'd in lsusb and was working prior.
Connman doesn't show it even existing.
