The bug still exists in Ubuntu 16.04. The rt3290 card is disabled by default and the Rfkill output shows "hardware blocked"..which isn't blocked at all whenever i try to enable it doesn't work. None of the solutions worked on ubuntu 16.04.
Sadly i reverted to Linux mint with 3.16 kernel because i don't have any option left. ** Tags added: 16.04 bug exists ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049466 Title: Need support of Ralink RT3290 wifi support Status in Linux: New Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Precise: Invalid Status in linux-firmware source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Quantal: Invalid Status in linux-firmware source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in linux source package in Raring: Fix Released Status in linux-firmware source package in Raring: Fix Released Status in linux package in Baltix: Opinion Status in linux package in Gentoo Linux: New Bug description: RT3290 wifi chip is becoming common on consumer notebooks.
