Making Mediatek 7630 Wifi work with Linux

Recently installed Ubuntu 14 on one the ASUS X200, which happens to have a Mediatek MT7630 WLAN adapter.

Did not work out of the box. Then stumbled on this:

The driver would refuse to compile. Took the steps below:

1. Uninstalled Ubuntu 14
2. Installed Ubuntu 12
3. Downgraded kernel to 3.14. the driver wouldnt compile with a kernel above that. Here are the steps:

4. Download the driver from http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1796 to ~/Downloads
5. tar -xvf
6. follow instruction in the README.MD.
7. sudo reboot

All works!
