Driver for Mediatek MT7630E

Did anything ever happen to this?
My daughter has this device in her laptop it seems, sigh.
I might start fiddling with it unless someone else is already doing it.

Ah yeah that is what I have running. It's a fork of rt2x00 so it's missing all fixes since 3.11 or so, just a question of when this becomes unsupportable.
This code is a complete mashup of Linux and duct-taped Windows NDIS-based driver code, my eyes are bleeding from looking at it.
The defines etc patched in have obvious gaps due to other unsupported chips such as MT7601u I suspect. I guess it's necessary to also look at this in order to not screw things up for 7601.

The rt2x00 does not change that much itself so it's not a biggie. However, we are missing all the mac80211-related changes :/

The problem with this hardware is that it's a something between old Ralink stuff and new AC devices which Felix is supporting in mt76, just like mt7601u. I started hacking on mt76 to add support but not sure if Felix is interested in merging support for old chips there.
So the support for mt7630e could be added in three places,
theoretically: (1) rt2x00, (2) mt7601u, (3) mt76. IMO they're all bad choices.
Also MediaTek has no interest in supporting Open Source driver for this device.

The driver for MediaTek MT7601U was recently added to upstream at:drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt7601u/
