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.
