##can't figure out how to edit a post so here is #276 again with the correction from #280, thanks genipila-1.
Ok I got wireless networking working using the MT7630 device under Ubuntu 15.10 by following the procedure below. I used benjarobin for a working driver and kuba-moo to get hold of a couple of make files that simplify the installation. Download the following files: MT7630E-master.zip from https://github.com/benjarobin/MT7630E mt7630e-master.zip from https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e I used the "Download ZIP" button in both cases which appears at the bottom of the RHS column of these pages. Unzip both files and copy "Makefile" and "dkms.conf" from mt76303e- master to MT7630E-master. Open a terminal and get to the MT7630E-master directory and then follow the instructions at https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e omitting the "clone repo" steps as you already have the source, (git clone didn't work for me due to a permission issue that I did not understand). This procedure appeared to work for me, even after a computer restart, (I had got it working without loading on restart and dkms in posts 273 and 274, but hopefully nothing is required above what I describe in this post). Thanks to kuba-moo, benjarobin and mycodef.
