Wifi doesn't work after kernel upgrade! I also tried installing linux-
firmware_1.118_all.deb on Ubuntu 13.10, no luck.

Himanshu, I'm in the same boat as you, as regards to buying HP Pavilion
15 - n011tu. But, I can use my wifi only if I use the OS config (Ubuntu
12.04) that HP shipped with it. The laptop suffers with hanging problems
on Ubuntu 12.04 and HP support told me to upgrade, but if I upgrade I
don't have Wifi, but hanging is sorted. HP tried to sell me Windows too!
If they don't know Ubuntu, they shouldn't sell it, it's a marketing
gimmick!

I have put this on Twitter and I will mail on GSS_MTK_WCN_ACS@xxxxxxxxxxxx as well. Mediatek has a Linux drivers website (http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501) but no drivers for our chip: MT7630.
Good luck and thanks!
