Found another possible workaround if you want to use vendor's proprietary drivers. Someone over at archlinux created a patch for mediatek's driver: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rt3290sta- dkms/?setlang=ru
Original Driver: http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01-1_windowsDetail.php?sn=5033 Patch: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0kaibq0f4to0k2/rt3290sta.patch I wrapped it up into DKMS so it can easily get rebuilt on kernel upgrades. Download and untar into /usr/src and then run: dkms install -m rt3290sta -v 2.6.0.0 modprobe rt3290sta This will: 1 - Add it to DKMS tree 2 - Build the rt3290sta driver with the patch 2 - Install it to the kernel driver tree 3 - Blacklist original kernel drivers rt2x00pci & rt2800pci from loading by creating /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ralink.conf To remove: dkms remove t3290sta/2.6.0.0 -all ** Attachment added: "rt3290sta-2.6.0.0.dkms.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049466/+attachment/3886782/+files/rt3290sta-2.6.0.0.dkms.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049466 Title: Need support of Ralink RT3290 wifi support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
