Please help :/
I have an ASUS x550c laptop with a MediaTek MT7630e wifi card. The wired internet works, but wireless doesn't. I have tried all the online solutions and none of them work. Since I need this laptop for work I am very close to giving up and going back to Windows :/
I've also seen this bug, doesn't give me encouragement that it's been sitting unresolved like this for the last 9 months: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1220146
What I am asking for here:
- Are there any news on this bug or is there anybody that has a similar setup that managed to get wireless working on their laptop?
- Is there an alternative, like a WiFi USB stick or an adapter that can be plugged in into the ethernet port (and that works with Ubuntu)? I am willing to try anything as long as it doesn't entail having access to routers (I am imagining a scenario in a hotel where this is not possible)
- Is there a Linux distro that would work with this setup/card? (not sure if this is ok to ask here but I am desperate)
A few symptoms:
- "rfkill list all" doesn't show anything after I did the first answer from here: How to make a d-link dwa-123 wireless n 150 work on ubuntu 13.10 (saucy)
- I bought this USB stick: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_14?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=linux%20usb%20wifi%20adapters&sprefix=linux+usb+wifi%2Celectronics%2C208 and since it doesn't have Linux drivers (Hardware B1) I downloaded ndiswrapper and tried installing XP drivers through that - didn't work.
- Fn+F2 button doesn't work, WiFi lamp doesn't turn on
Thanks for your time!!
