The driver for this device is in the 3.6-rc1 and newer kernels with the following commit:

rt2x00 : RT3290 chip support v4

I'll see if this commit can be easily backported to Quantal.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

I created a Quantal test kernel with commit a89534edaaa7008992b878680490e9b02a665563 applied. The test kernel can be downloaded from:

http://people.canonical.com/~jsalisbury/lp1078606/

Can you test this kernel and report back if it enables wireless? Note that you will need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Thanks in advance!

After i installed both packages, another issue as follows: Wireless Networks --> 'device not ready (fireware is missing)'

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

@mlchen,

Thanks for testing. Can you attach your syslog, or the section of syslog that has the error. It probably id due to missing firmware.

[mlchen (mlchen1876)]

Error: Failed to request Firmware. syslog as attach.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

The upstream commit that fixes this bug may contain too many changes to be considered for SRU to Precise.

Would it be possible for you to test the backports-module? It can be downloaded from:

[TienFu Chen (ctf)]

linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.2.0-33-generic_3.2.0-33.18_amd64.deb doesn't work for Precise or Quantal with 3.2 kernel.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

@Tim Chen, why would linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6[0] not work? The Linux Backports Module for Quantal should contain the change in the wireless 3.6 code.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

I mentioned Precise in comment #8, but this bug is actually for Quantal.

@mlchen, Can you test linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6[0] with the latest Quantal kernel?

@Joseph

I've tried linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6[0] with latest quantal kernel[1] , and the wifi/bluetooth still not working.

And the work around for kernel 3.6.6 [2] will fix the wifi but not bluetooth[3].

According to realtek, the bluetooth device 1814:3298 needs a proprietary driver to work, due to something about their PCI-E design, they will not upstream it.

For the wifi, it can made to work with firmware in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049466/comments/8.
