I don't have an perfect idea about that..But yes, as per my experience may be there is something wrong from v4.0 kernels because this problem started from the initial release of ubuntu 16.04 which came along with the kernel v4.2...The problem was ralink wifi "disabled by default"..when you go on to settings you find that airplaine mode is enabled by default and you cant disable it. Even when you compile another driver for this WIFI card somehow it shows up but still its useless because it doesn’t detect the wifi connections nearby....because its blocked.
Something is messing up with Ralink or there is some bug in kernel itself which preventing this wifi from activating. This problem is still present in Ubuntu and its derivatives which are based from 16.04 to the present builds. #1745636 problem is same. the wifi key doesn't unlocks the wifi nor even Rfkill command. I have been filling this bug from last 2 year but still the problem exists. -- 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
