I can confirm the above driver works on my HP ProBook G1, running Ubuntu 13.10 with Linux v3.5.0-17 (the stock kernel from Ubuntu 12.10) and the modules compiled from github: https://github.com/anthonywong/mt7630

Below is a rough guide on how to get this wifi adapter working. These steps are only for testing purposes and I do not recommend anyone uses this setup:
1) Compile the mt7630 modules (I compiled in a VirtualBox VM running Ubuntu 12.10 Live CD which uses Linux v3.5.0-17).
2) Install the following and reboot (I installed this on my actual laptop, which has Ubuntu 13.10 - note that in my case the video drivers failed when I installed this):
          linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic_3.5.0-17.28_amd64.deb
          linux-image-extra-3.5.0-17-generic_3.5.0-17.28_amd64.deb
3) Run the 'load.sh' script from the mt7630 module package (you may need to make some obvious modifications to get the correct module directory). This will load your wifi drivers.

Below is the output from 'lspci -v' for this card:
04:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. Device 7630
 Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 197c
 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
 Memory at b0600000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci

I tested the card for standard network access and suspended the laptop, all went well.
