I'm posting the results of replacing MT7630E to Intel 7260ac: works fine with laptop HP Probook 470 G1, so there is no whitelist in laptop (if someone ask himself with such question).
There were some problems with Ubuntu 14.04 and kernel 3.13 though. It worked out of the box, but not so stable and with huge amount of Tx excessive retries. I updated the kernel to 3.16 and downloaded new firmware and i works better now However sometimes 'Tx excessive retries' and 'Invalid misc:' in iwconfig is still more than 0. I don't if it's OK (because I did't run iwconfig with my old MT7630E), but wifi works for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220146 Title: Ralink Mediatek 14c3:7630 wi-fi card isn't supported out of the box Status in HWE Next Project: Confirmed Status in HWE Next trusty series: Confirmed Status in The Linux Kernel: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux package in Fedora: New Bug description: This device is appearing in some OEM machines, but driver is not yet available in mainline.
