So I installed Ubunutu 15.04 on my Asus Flipbook TP500LN, but I don't have acces to wi-fi (ethernet does work). Now I read about Ndiswrapper, I installed the program and used it to install my wi-fi driver, which I got from the official Asus website. It all went pretty well, but even though it says that the driver is installed and there is a yes I still don't have acces to wi-fi.

I also tried checking additional drivers, but the wi-fi driver doesn't show up.

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance for all the replies

P.s. My touchpad also doesn't work, but I'm more concerned with the wi-fi not working

Edit: After using sudo ndisgtk I get Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without transient parent. This is discouraged.

The process used to install the driver is:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic git
git clone https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e.git
cd mt7630e
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe mt76xx
sudo depmod -a

It compiled for me perfectly on Ubuntu 15.04. I haven't the device so I can test no further.

This seems outdated, with Ubuntu 15.10 this did not work as I was getting error in make I followed this article http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1796 and it worked perfectly

Download:

Download the driver from here (It's a modification of the original driver for easy installation)

Install:

Now follow the instructions below:

  1. extract the archive in your Downloads directory (or any other directory).

  2. In terminal run:

cd ~/Downloads/MT7630E-release (change the path if you extracted in another folder)

  1. now run these commands one by one:

sudo chmod +x install

sudo ./install

It will prompt for your password. Put your password and wait to finish the installaion.

After installation has been completed the wifi will appear in the networkmanager and bluetooth will be available for use. The driver will load at startup automatically, so you don't need to load the driver every time you reboot.
