This bug affects all ASUS P550 notebooks with production date starting from Jan 2014.
They have swapped the reliable Atheros Wifi/BT controller with this MediaCrap module 7630.

I have asked MediaTek (through webform and via mail) and they did not respond.
I wonder if they do exist at all or are just a marketing department of Foxconn (they produce all the Mediatek cards).
I have asked ASUS and they told me the Mediatek was the same as Ralink 2800 module, so no problem with Windows drivers.

Anybody knows how to add the PCI ID from the MediaCrap 7630 module into the ralink driver?
I had a look into the r2x00 driver and it seems pretty weird, at least there was no PCI ID list in the source.
