Comment 0 for bug 1252962

RT3290 wifi will not connect in 13.10 with wpa on. By removing security a connection is achieved but it is poor signal and drops out after 5-10 minutes. Trying in 13.04 results in a connection which stays up even with wpa so this is a regression. Even in 13.04 performace is very poor (signal strength, speed) compared to W8.

Kernal is using the rt2800pci module which appears poorly equiped to handle this chip.
