I recently upgraded from ubuntu 13.10 to ubuntu 14.04. Wifi (with ralink rt3290 card) was not working in ubuntu 13.10, but after the following the guide here, How do I get a Ralink RT3290 wireless card working?, it worked fine. But in ubuntu 14.04, no matter how much I try it does not work. Can anyone please figure out what the problem is and how to solve it.

Download the file from here and follow the following steps:

  1. Extract the rt3290sta-2.6.0.0 directory into /usr/src.
  2. Run sudo dkms install -m rt3290sta -v 2.6.0.0 --force.
  3. Reboot.

And you should be good :)

dkms wasn't installed on this system by default (originally a trusty beta install)... – naught101 Apr 28 '14 at 0:13

Sir, thank you for posting this answer. I can confirm it works on Ubuntu 14.04, HP Probook 4540s after following this guide. Real shame the author didn't mark the thread as solved. – Mythul Sep 13 '14 at 6:56

to remove these drivers sudo dkms remove rt3290sta/2.6.0.0 --all – shiv garg Apr 19 '15 at 14:59
