Thanks to Jakub Kicinski from linux-wireless upstream who went out of his way to fix this

https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e solves my 100% CPU problem

Make sure your module rt2800pci is clean too. I used a clean upgraded kernel 3.16-0.33 for this to work.

As I understand, this is not a kernel bug because the driver is closed source. But ubuntu can perhaps support the solution with its propitiatory drivers. Can we expediate ubuntu's attention? BTW, Jakub's repo works fine but still has too many dmesg messages, maybe someone can fix this as before? Also, I did not test BT since I am too happy for that.

@levgen I send a message to mediatek every now and then. Last one was on their google+. I will also email Asus to complain in general. On a question about whether the card can be replaced, they replied about not supporting linux etc. I think replacing the card is not an option on the asus TP500LN because it is integrated.
