Hi,

If your intentions are just to load drivers at boot time, I have another
temporary solution. I am using this solution, and its working fine.

1.) Run 'visudo' and add following line into it:
       <your user name> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
     This will enable to run any sudo command without any password prompt.
If its safe for you, please proceed ahead, otherwise drop here.

2.) Create a file 'wifi_bt_drivers' with following statements.
     cd
/<path_to_drivers>/MT7630E_Wi-Fi_BT_Source_V3.14_20140625/MT7630E_Wi-Fi_BT_Source_Release_20140625/btloader
     sudo insmod ./mt76xx.ko
     cd
/<path_to_drivers>/MT7630E_Wi-Fi_BT_Source_V3.14_20140625/MT7630E_Wi-Fi_BT_Source_Release_20140625/rt2x00
     sudo sh ./load.sh

3.) Give it executable permissions.
     chmod 777 wifi_bt_drivers

4.) Add this file in the list of startup applications. <Press 'super' and
type 'startup'>

But right now, I am more worried about CPU uses. My battery backup is
reduced to around 1.5 hours from 3 hours. Also, during video playback,
system hangs due to heavy CPU load. If anyone has suggestion for it, please
let me know.
