Hi,

I have done some more testing with the MT6730 driver using kernel
version 3.5.0-17.  The results show that the wifi can be very slow,
infact, it is almost unuseable at times.

Below are results on my HP ProBook G1 (wifi and eth0) as well as my
Android based phone.  I used Speedtest.net to get my speed values.  The
test results are only through 1 wifi access point, but I can confirm
that the problem exists on the 3 wifi access points I tested this on.

All values are in Mbps.

mt7630           10.08                0.19        -  kernel v3.5.0
mt7630           11.58              failed        -  kernel v3.5.0 (fresh boot)
eth0                 91.30              93.12        -  kernel v3.5.0
eth0                 93.57              94.62        - kernel v3.11.0
Android           21.01              31.28        - I suppose this is the speed we expect on the mt7630

I will raise a bug on the github page for this driver.

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