Since the driver from github seems to work with the mtk7630 device, what is the process to move this upstream?
I think the developer for rt2800 can simply incorporate the changes into the mainline beta driver and the masses could test it out then. How is the developer informed about this patch and the severity level? Since there are zillions of notebooks now shipping with this MediaCrap hardware, I would think this is one of the more important pieces of hardware to support with the next kernel release. -- 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: Need support for new Ralink Wifi card - Mediatek 7630 [14c3:7630] Status in HWE Next Project: Confirmed Status in HWE Next trusty series: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Raring: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Saucy: Confirmed 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.
