I have an ASUS K555L and it comes with a Mediatek MT7630E WiFi adapter which doesn't work out-of-the-box in Ubuntu. After looking in this very same website, I found a fix that worked, but I had to re-install it after almost every software update.

But now, after a kernel update (linux headers 4.2.0-42generic), this fix doesn't work. It throws the following error:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'mt7630e': Required key not available

So, is there a way of fixing the fix?, is there a way to revert to my old linux headers?

So, just disabling the secure boot would do the trick. Are there any drawbacks in doing that? – Miguelgondu Jul 29 '16 at 14:57
Yes, it will fix it. There are no drawbacks IMO, since Secure Boot is useless. I also wrote an answer there how to install the driver a way that you won't need to re-install it every time. – Pilot6 Jul 29 '16 at 14:59

Works like a charm. Feel free to post it as an answer, I'll select it inmediately. – Miguelgondu Jul 29 '16 at 15:19
