Doesn't work WiFi on Ubuntu?

Doesn't work WiFi on Ubuntu on MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter?

This happens because MEDIATEK Corp. doesn't issue any supporting software to Ubuntu. So we have to manually  install them to Ubuntu.

So to do so you have to download following files. I'll add a link to download them. Just go to the link and download the file.

Ubuntu Wifi Drivers



Optional :

To find whether your WiFi adapter is MEDIATEK, follow the following  steps :
First open Terminal (ctrl + alt + t) and type

sudo lshw -C network

Then you can find your WiFi adapter name,

Method:

After download the files copy the file form Downloads to Desktop. You can do this by using terminal also. To do it type this command on the terminal 

cp /Downloads/<file name> /Desktop/<file name>

After that unzip the file. You can  do this by double clicking the file and drag and drop the content of that file. After that change you directory to that folder. To do it type the following command on the terminal.

cd <directory name>  

To list the files in that directory type ls,

 

Here the "install" file should be in green color(which is an executable file), if not to do it type

chmod 777 install  

After it, all done and we are ready to install. To do it type,

sudo ./install

You may have to give your root password to execute. After the installation reboot your Ubuntu and you are ready to go.

Special:

Normally this error occurs on Kali also. I'm not sure but this method will solve that error also because both OS have the Debian kernel.
