Hi Larry,

Although I stepped down as rt2x00 maintainer I'm still following developments.
I noticed that Mediatek have published a Linux MT7630E driver on their website as well.
This one seems to be a bit newer than the one in the github repo (at least it is based on a newer rt2x00 version).
Maybe you should check that one out.

For interested readers, I have modified the GitHub code to compile using
the current wireless-testing kernel source. If there is sufficient
interest, I could set up a new GH repo for it as an interim measure with
conditional code allowing it to build on recent kernels (3.5+).

I have a notebook with MT7630 wireless device:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. Device [14c3:7630]
        Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device [105b:e074]

Is it possible to create a GH repo, I'm not a developer but I'm willing to
help any way I can, and I'm also a quick learner :)

I forked the older git repo to http://github.com/lwfinger/mt7630. The code there will build on any kernel 3.5 or newer (including 3.16).

Although it will build, it still needs a lot of work. The driver is very "chatty" and spams the logs. Even more disturbing is that it fails to authenticate to any of my APs. That includes WPA1 and WPA2 variants. As usual, the necessary commands are as follows:

git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/mt7630
cd mt7630
make
sudo make install

If the make step fails, you have not set up your system to build an out-of-kernel driver. The driver produced here will replace rt2800pci and some other related drivers.
