tested the suggested mainline kernel. wireless is not unclaimed with this kernel (recognized with lshw) but wifi is not working properly, icon always flashing and requesting for the wpa passphrase but never connects. also bluetooth not available! to have wifi and bluetooth working i have to use again 3.2.0-54.82 kernel.
i got some error messages installing the mainline kernel headers, probably about wireless modules, so i'll attache file make.log afaik the bug is not fixed in the mainline kernel ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244478 Title: Kernel 3.2.0-55 is missing driver rt2800pci for Ralink RT3290 Wireless (unclaimed) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Release: 12.04 On a Notebook HP 650 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit i received updates for kernel 3.2.0-55-generic (exactly 3.2.0-55.85) and starting the notebook with that kernel results in unavailable connection, no wifi.
