I had this problem on an HP envy dv7, running latest Raring release (thought I'd take a chance on running the pre-release beta), which uses a 3.8.0.x kernel series.

0a:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
0a:00.1 Bluetooth: Ralink corp. RT3290 Bluetooth

Solution for me was in #8 above:

# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
# cp linux-firmware/rt3290.bin /lib/firmware/
# shutdown -r now

Hopefully the "linux-firmware" .deb will eventually include this. Raring is using 1.104, which doesn't include rt3290.bin yet.

This has got wireless working correctly, however there are still 2 minor (for me) problems.

1) Bluetooth isn't working
2) The "airplane mode" keyboard toggle doesn't do anything
