Comment 96 for bug 1049466

Xubuntu 13.10 64 bits, also affected.

On 12.04 & 13.04 (with kernel 3.6 to 3.8) I tested successfully this :

sudo apt-get install git

Then:

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

With kernel 3.11, this has no effect : wifi starts with session, then randomly stops with own network disapearing from list (other networks still visible & potentially usable)
