Hi,

If your intentions are just to load drivers at boot time, I have another
temporary solution. I am using this solution, and its working fine.

1.) Run 'visudo' and add following line into it:
       <your user name> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
     This will enable to run any sudo command without any password prompt.
If its safe for you, please proceed ahead, otherwise drop here.

2.) Create a file 'wifi_bt_drivers' with following statements.
     cd
/<path_to_drivers>/MT7630E_Wi-Fi_BT_Source_V3.14_20140625/MT7630E_Wi-Fi_BT_Source_Release_20140625/btloader
     sudo insmod ./mt76xx.ko
     cd
/<path_to_drivers>/MT7630E_Wi-Fi_BT_Source_V3.14_20140625/MT7630E_Wi-Fi_BT_Source_Release_20140625/rt2x00
     sudo sh ./load.sh

3.) Give it executable permissions.
     chmod 777 wifi_bt_drivers

4.) Add this file in the list of startup applications. <Press 'super' and
type 'startup'>

But right now, I am more worried about CPU uses. My battery backup is
reduced to around 1.5 hours from 3 hours. Also, during video playback,
system hangs due to heavy CPU load. If anyone has suggestion for it, please
let me know.

regards,
Abhishek Vershney,

  This device is appearing in some OEM machines, but driver is not yet

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