Unfortunately, the Bug still exists on Ubuntu 16.10...I don't know whats wrong with the R2800pci and even blacklisting the driver doesn't solves the issue...and i need to stuck on linux mint 17..just because of this issue.
Somehow if we manage to remove default PCI driver from linux kernel (as i don't know how to do that), i think rfkill issue would be solved i am not 100% sure about that will it work or not. I have done everything googled every solution none of them worked. Thats the main reason why i refused to installed ubuntu 16.04LTS. ** Tags added: 16.10 bug exists ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577140 Title: Wifi Ralink R3290 disabled by default in ubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1577140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
