At the moment I'm running Gentoo and I have working rt3290 wifi and bluetooth support. These drivers are originally from ralinktech.com so I'm talking about the same rt3290sta. For bluetooth support I've build rtbth with some minor changes in order to support recent kernels. My kernel is 4.1.15 so it should work with recent ubuntu releases.
rt3290 (it should be the same from this thread, two years old, but still works for me, as is): https://github.com/pkeeper/rt3290sta rtbth (it has dkms.conf so to build it in Ubuntu should be straight forward): https://github.com/alinefr/rtbth I'm still waiting for upstream support so we wouldn't need to rely on old manufacturer buggy drivers but for now it does the trick. -- 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 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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.
