Comment 114 for bug 1049466

Found a possible turnaround :

add PPA via synaptic :

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse

Then :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

sudo apt-get install git

Then add firmware :

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
sudo cp linux-firmware/rt3290.bin /lib/firmware
sudo reboot
