Wireless drivers for Mediatek MT7630e on ASUS X555LB with Ubuntu 15.10

[aljaz3]

Recently i've installed Ubuntu 15.10 and so far i failed to get the wireless drivers running.
I have ASUS X555LB with Mediatek MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter. So far i tried all the drivers i could find and none of them works. Another information that may be usseful, previously i had Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which started freezing randomly and i decided to upgrade.
The same problem also appeared on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, most of drivers didn't work for that version also. Most of drivers appeared to work for older version of Kernel, but after few days of googling i managed to fix it with https://github.com/tobiasBora/MT7630E_3.16
I've reached a dead end and i'm looking forward to a sollution, and in advanced thank you for your time.

On other but reports similar to mine people found following informations usseful.

With a temporary working internet connection by ethernet, tether or whatever means possible, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git

One or more may be already installed, please continue:

git clone https://github.com/benjarobin/MT7630E.git
cd MT7630E/rt2x00
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe mt7630e

Your wireless should now be working.

You will have built the driver for your currently running kernel version only. When Update Manager installs a later kernel version, also known as linux-image, after the requested reboot, recompile:

cd MT7630E/rt2x00
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe mt7630e

Please retain the file and these instructions for that time.

The driver may require firmware. If your wireless device doesn't work as expected, check the log for clues:

dmesg | grep mt76

First off all thank you for your time.
I got stuck after making file in MT7630E/rt2x00. Command make succeed. File called install doesn't exist. Am i missing something?

aljazm@aljazm-X555LB:~/Downloads/MT7630E/rt2x00$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.

I appreciate your help.

Please show the outputs of:

make clean
make

Thank you

Hm, maybe it doesn't work with kernel 4.2?! Try now

sudo make install

[aljaz3]

Still doesn't work, output is same as before.

aljazm@aljazm-X555LB:~/Downloads/MT7630E/rt2x00$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.

[praseodym]

Lets try this one instead, it compiles with kernel 3.16 here:

sudo apt-get install dkms
git clone https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e
cd mt7630e
make
sudo make install

[aljaz3]

Unfortunately this one fails at make

Obviously, it does not work with this kernel. Try 14.04 instead.
