All about the firmware. On Linuxmint 17.3 it's locate in firmware directory on /lib/firmware/ and file is rt3290.bin - but firmware is not an kernel module... in fact several kernel in system use for that, then wlan (wifi) may work.
In case hybrid (wlan|bluetooth) card the firmware must fit to version of the hardware. So If version of the hardware is different then firmware located in rt3290.bin must by lite differentia. So we have one question, how manny version of hybrid card Ralink (Mediatek) created? -- 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.
