Bug Description

My WiFi RT3290 does not work on Ubuntu. Neither I remember it working on any previous version. I don't have good knowledge of command line or linux. But I am using ubuntu as my primary OS. Currently I am using usb wifi adapter to connect to internet. I have followed almost every guide available on internet like downloading driver from mediatek website or someone's dropbox folder and then compiling or changing linux kernels. I don't know why still I can't make it work. I want this device to work out of box for next ubuntu version. Let me know if you need any further information about collecting logs of my system.
