Bug Description
I have a Sony Vaio laptop with an rt3090 wifi adapter built-in.
It does not work in Precise Pangolin Beta.
In older versions of Ubuntu, I was able to use a PPA which repackaged the manufacturer's drivers.
To get it to work, I also had to blacklist a series of drivers in Ubuntu.
These are no longer being packaged and the source as supplied does not compile against 3.x kernels.
The driver source is here

The PPA is here

I have tried mainline kernel v3.4 rc2 and it works!!!

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.4kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text.
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel- fixed-upstream' .
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel- bug-exists- upstream' .
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel- unable- to-test- upstream' .
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.
