Essentially, the driver for it doesn't exist in any form and maybe it will be introduced at a later release after 3.16.? Thanks again, appreciate it very much.?

There are a number of places where there are branches specific to the MT7630. It also needs a firmware file named mt7630.bin. Unfortunately, that file is not found in the repo, and a quick Google search failed to find it. The linux-firmware git repo has a file named mt7650.bin, but I think that is Bluetooth firmware. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy fix, and only someone with the hardware could modify rt2800pci to support this device. Larry
