[РЕШЕНО] Драйвер Ralink RT3290
Доброго времени суток!
Ноутбук: HP Pavilion G6 2241er
Система: Linux Mint 14.1 x64
Wifi адаптер: Ralink RT3290
Уже долго гуглю. Все способо найденые мною не работают(возможно из-за моих кривых рук)
Дрова встроеные в систему с карточкой дружить не хотят.
Помогите пожалуйста установить драйвер.
Спасибо, но я уже не один раз пытался установить драйвер по этой инструкции.
Проблема возникает на этом шаге:
3. Extract the folder (DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217) to your home directory.
Так как в архиве который я скачал с офф сайта нет такой папки.
Там находится этот файл:
\2012_0508_RT3290_Linux_STA_v2.6.0.0
Причем он без расширения
Вот название архива:
\2012_0508_RT3290_Linux_STA_v2.6.0.0.bz2
Вот всё что нужно было сделать:

The RT3290 WI-FI drivers for linux
Tested on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS running on Kernel 5.0.x, it compiles and improves performance of wi-fi signal greatly on this card.
I made this version seeing that almost nobody cared about this card, not even the original vendor Ralink which turned to Mediatek, who just care about the Windows version, and the version that comes with linux kernel out of the box has weak wifi strength as it’s more generic and using the drivers of rt2800pci.
Needs the dkms package from the distro repos or manually compiled. Can be gotten in Ubuntu derivatives by simply doing:
Next steps to install.
After installation, and reboot, you might see there is no wifi, but it’s just that the interface is put down on boot, you can make it auto start on start up yourself or run:
Here eno1 being the driver interface of the Ralink card that would be seen with a simple iwconfig

Forked driver for Ralink RT3290 Wi-Fi adapter for Linux Kernel => 3.11
While not fully stable, it works much better than rt2800pci kernel driver. If it stops to work, reload the driver. Bluetooth is not working. You need to recompile driver on every kernel update (or you could make DKMS from it and send me a patch).
comand for that (it will ask your user password to apply changes to system) : git clone https://github.com/pkeeper/rt3290sta.git && cd rt3290sta && make && sudo make install && sudo modprobe -r rt2800pci && sudo modprobe rt3290sta
Now you need to make it load on startup. Blacklist the «rt2800pci» driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add «rt3290sta» to /etc/modules.
cd to a driver directory, run make clean && make && sudo make install && modprobe rt3290sta
If someone could debug it and make patches, it could be pretty cool 🙂

RT3290 Ralink driver in Ubuntu
I have found that there is a large community suffering from the problems with the WiFi-Bluetooth card Ralink RT-3290. It has been a problem since 2012-2013.
None of the solutions I’ve found is simple, effective and durable.
I managed, with great effort, some results. But when there is a kernel update, the problems return.
Can anyone provide a simple , effective and lasting solution?
Is there a project from Ubuntu’s developers to attack the problem?

Generally, the answer above is a steps in a correct direction. There are only two steps missing.
Step-by-step solution Open new terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) and type as follows:
Add rtbth to the end of the file, then Ctrl + o and ENTER (to save the file) and Ctrl + X to close the editor
Then reboot and the new driver will be loaded.
This one worked for me to get the Bluetooth to be active and find devices, however, I didn’t succeeded to pair my Jabra play clipper with it, but that might be due to the Jabra device problems.
Anyway, you can try it out and share your progress with us
How do I get a Ralink RT3290 wireless card working?
I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on an ASUS X401U, and after installation there is no list of wireless connections. I didn’t have that problem with an installation on HP. What I can do to enable Wifi?

There are several guides that speak of the same way. Guides like this source, this source or the bug report mention some procedures to get this Wireless card working on several types of laptops.
Some cases mention downgrading to 12.04 and then installing a specific 3.6 kernel version for it, others mention upgrading to 13.04 and installing the 3.9 kernel version. And even another case where it mentions the user to download the drivers from the official site and do a step by step guide on how to install it.
I will mention several ways of doing it, all of which involve downloading the driver, compiling it and making sure it works. It has been noted that in the 3.9 kernel version, the wireless card is working correctly, so in 13.04 with backports or 13.10 this issue should be resolved.
So here are several ways you can get your Ralink RT3290 wireless card working in 12.04 and above (Not all methods will work, so try to look for the one that works best for your computer):
Since your vendor id is 1814:3290 it means you have a Ralink RT3290 wireless card. For that case we (After connecting the wired cable):
Connect a wired cable connection to the computer to have Internet connection for the moment while you do the steps below.
Open a terminal and execute the following line to install everything needed to compile your very own wireless drivers:
Now, depending on how you wish to proceed, follow one of the guides below:
NOT OFFICIAL DRIVERS FOR Kernel 4.X
If the above does not work for you on Kernels 4.X, the solution I was able to test following this source was
PLease Download the Updated Driver (Big Thanks to Jim Colaco) From Here or Here. This was tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10.
Now on some cases, you will need to enable the interface for the wireless driver (Because it will not bring the interface up automatically) and then restart the network service. Something like this:
So an example would be:
I recommend putting this 2 lines inside /etc/rc.local above the «exit 0» line so it brings the interface up automatically.
OFFICIAL SITE GUIDE
Go to Mediatek and download the Ralink RT3290 Driver for Linux MediaTek did a fine job on moving the link to download and not having a redirect for it. Here is the new Link for all Downloadable Firmware but guess what, they removed RT3290 from it. Go Mediatek 😉
Thanks to others that also had the problem and shared their sources, here is a list of all available Download links for you to use while Mediatek decides to help Linux and open up:
Rename the file to 2012_0508_RT3290_Linux_STA_v2.6.0.0.tar.bz2 because Mediatek did a great job on making sure the file works correctly.
Extract the file and it should create a folder named DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508
Go to DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/ and edit the file config.mk
On line 31 you should find the variable HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n . Change it to
Go to your main extracted folder (It should be the DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508 folder) and type:
If everything compiled correctly do the following:
If step 7 runs without any problems, we add the module to the list of modules to loaded on every boot:
and add a line at the end of the file that says rt3290sta . Save and exit.
DROPBOX GUIDE
(Not recommended, as you’re downloading an untrusted tarball off of a Dropbox account.
Download the source driver:
and we then decompress the file
Go inside the newly created folder:
and we start the compiling process
We then test to see if the driver is correctly compiled and installed
If step 3 runs without any problems we then add the module to the list of modules to loaded upon every boot:
and add a line at the bottom that says rt3290sta . Save and exit.
EXTRA GUIDE
Some users mention additional steps. This might or not apply to you. If you feel the system is not working, maybe one of the points below can help you along the way:
When opening the config.mk file, do not only change the HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT to a value of y , but also do it with HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT in case it has n . In my case it had y but it should be checked to make sure both WPA_SUPPLICANT are set to `y.
Blacklisting conflicting wireless drivers. Do the following:
Add the following lines (Make sure they are not there in the first place):
Update initramfs: sudo update-initramfs -u
If you have trouble compiling the driver on Ubuntu 13.04 or Ubuntu 13.10 (and perhaps later versions as well), then this may be because of a change to the Linux kernel creating an incompatibility with the driver code. This can possibly be fixed by opening
and adding the following after the «#include » near the top
then change the portion of the file which says
This will hopefully solve the compiler error. Return to the DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508 directory and follow the instructions as above.
