Ubuntu 16.04 and Secure Boot

cnt0 commented 8 years ago

Today I realised that Ubuntu 16.04 rejects unsigned kernel modules (like this one) if Secure Boot is enabled. How to deal with it? That's what I can suggest:

disable Secure Boot. Not so good for security, impossible in some cases
use Secure Boot with our own certificates, i.e. compile kernel manually. Good only for Gentoo users
push this driver into the kernel source tree. Don't know if it is possible. Looks like there are lots of issues with license, code quality, etc. @kuba-moo, can you make it clear?

I don't think this driver is getting upstream anytime soon. I'd try compiling the kernel from sources if I were you. It's not that hard and there is myriad tutorials.

I solved it using this package https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E

download ZIP, unzip, run "install" and reboot.

I have a Asus tp300la.
