Hello Christopher
In principle I am of course willing to do this test. But since this
test will take quite some time I would first like to understand whether
there is really a possibilitiy that the new kernel fixes this issue.
Facts:
* Ralink RT 3290 works for me under .54, .55, and .56 (after having
applied a workaround).
* the RT module is compiled for every new kernel.
* The kernels and the RT module are not incompatible as such
o the issue was caused by changes in the kernel HEADER files
o the inline function kmalloc_array in the kernel header file
slab.h competes with an identical definition in the RT driver.
o hence the re-compilation for new kernels fails (THIS IS A SIMPLE
syntax error)
o I described the details under
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/238136
To fix this, several solution could be applied
1. undo the change in the kernel header file slab.h - I doubt that
this has been done
2. re-engineer the RT sources so that I can be successfully compiled -
since this an OEM module: I doubt that this has been done
3. introduce natural support of the RALINK HW so that the OEM module
is not needed anymore.
Has either of the three options above been implemented? Otherwise I
doubt that testing the new kernel makes sense.

Thomas, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release while ethernet connected from a Terminal
(Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number
If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel
available (not the daily folder) following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional
upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream
kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If
this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6
This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon
next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well,
please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
RT3290 12.04 new kernel
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The problem dates on 22. oct 2013 Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 Bit
- Update to Kernel 3.2.0-55
- rebboot and WLAN function gone
the last Kernel 3.2.0-54 was no problem with the Ralink Corp RT3290 Wireless
802.11 n
lspci still shows the chip
iwconfig shows no wireless extentions
The Ralink is in many HP Notebooks like the HP 655
