Mediatek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter

English Network/Internet
1

Hi, i know there are a lot of posts in internet about the problems between this wirless-card and Linux. I try to install Linux and resolve the wifi problem with Mediatek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter from about 3 weeks.
I read that the driver which are in internet are for the version tumbleweed or 13.2, with kernel version 3.16.6-2-desktop, and kde.
I download this file from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/30378731/dir/opensuse_13.x/com/mt7630-kmp-desktop-2.3.0_k3.16.6_2-4.1.x86_64.rpm.html
I install the driver and finally the card started to scan the wifi router, but if i try to connect it doesn’t connect. Then suddenly disappeared across networks from the list. I think there are a problem with Network Manager, but i don’t know. If you can find it useful:

I install openSUSE 13.2 in dual boot with Windows 10, if this could be useful. The peculiar thing is that when I rebooted and I logged in with opensuse appeared networks in the list again. I have a repeater modem, I turned off the repeater and although aggiornavo not disappear from the list. After I rebooted windows and strangely I had problems with the Wifi here too, it had never happened, I had to reboot windows again and now everything works. I do not know if this might be useful or is it just a coincidence, thanks for the support.

I’ve only had time to skim read this… perhaps Windows was powering the device down, or leaving in a state unusable to openSUSE for some reason. Anyway, sounds like you’re up and running again?
