I have the same problem on an HP envy 6-1160ez. The Ralink-Device for WLAN does not work.
I fear this bug will become more and more painful for ubuntu 12.10 since HP is using Ralink 3290 in many laptops.
I am quite disappointed by ubuntu because Fedora 18 supports the Raling WLAN out-of-the-box. The proposed workaround to upgrade to kernel 3.6.x seems to work but there have been reported some bugs (bad performance) as side-effect. I would expect that ubuntu comes out with a new "official" kernel for ubuntu 12.10 that fixes this bug as soon as possible.
I propose to raise the importance of this bug from "medium" to "high".
Here some more details of my system:
