I wasted my 5 days on laptop ASUS X550C: I did research, why wifi is not working with installed opensuse 13.1, installed vanilla 3.5 kernel, compiled that driver from github against it (he says 3.5 branch should work) - I could use scan on that device and see wireless networks around, but connection just always timed out - never get ip address.
Then I tried that linuxmint 13, install kernel 3.5.0-24-generic, compile driver and same result as with opensuse and kernel 3.5.7-7, never connect.... I think that in that ASUS is slightly different chipset, at least this line: Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 197c is different on my ASUS - there is: Subsystem: FOXCONN something (I wrapped that piece of crap to a box again, so I cannot post full line and will return it) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220146 Title: Need support for new Ralink Wifi card - Mediatek 7630 [14c3:7630] Status in HWE Next Project: Confirmed Status in HWE Next trusty series: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Raring: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Saucy: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Fedora: New Bug description: This device is appearing in some OEM machines, but driver is not yet available in mainline.
