Thanks to Jakub Kicinski from linux-wireless upstream who went out of his way to fix this

https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e  solves my 100% CPU problem

Make sure your module rt2800pci is clean too. I used a clean upgraded
kernel 3.16-0.33 for this to work.

As I understand, this is not a kernel bug because the driver is closed
source. But ubuntu can perhaps support the solution with its
propitiatory drivers. Can we expediate ubuntu's attention? BTW, Jakub's
repo works fine but still has too many dmesg messages, maybe someone can
fix this as before? Also, I did not test BT since I am too happy for
that.

@levgen I send a message to mediatek every now and then. Last one was on
their google+. I will also email Asus to complain in general. On a
question about whether the card can be replaced, they replied about not
supporting linux etc. I think replacing the card is not an option on the
asus TP500LN because it is integrated.

Bug description:
  This device is appearing in some OEM machines, but driver is not yet
  available in mainline.

  The driver seems to be present in machines with pre-installed OS, but
  isn't available on the download-and-install versions!

  The driver that upstream is working on can be found at
  https://github.com/lwfinger/mt7630.
