Hi Larry,

Although I stepped down as rt2x00 maintainer I'm still following developments.
I noticed that Mediatek have published a Linux MT7630E driver on their website as well.
This one seems to be a bit newer than the one in the github repo (at least it is based on a newer rt2x00 version).
Maybe you should check that one out.
