Thank you for taking time to investigate it with me. 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.

I looked more closely at the code in https://github.com/anthonywong/mt7630. 
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.
