On Mint 15, you'll also need to modify the source code a bit to work around some changes in the Linux kernel:Īnd adding the following after the " #include " block near the top On line 31 you should find the following variable:Īlso make sure that HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT in the lines above is also set to yĥ. Extract the file and it should create a folder named DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508Ĥ. tar.bz2 because Mediatek did a great job on making sure the file works correctly.ģ.

Go to Mediatek and download the Ralink RT3290 Driver for Linux ( NOTE: you will have to do a bit of a registration thing to get this to work)Ģ. I'm repeating the steps I took here for posterity (copied from that original answer, but with some modifications made to make it work - indicated in yellow highlighting).ġ.
I ended up following the instructions at All in all, there've been a lot of weird happenings since I got back! This follows some suspicious activity coming from an unknown (and untraceable) IP address last week.

So, I've been forced to roll back to the crappy and unstable (but non-crashing) default drivers :(ĮDIT 3: After some more digging, it appears that my wifi router's firewall has apparently been hell-banning my laptop for apparent DoS activity (usually corresponding with me trying to load image-heavy, Google-hosted sites!) on some of the days when I haven't been able to connect at all. All in all, it was a really frustrating experience!ĮDIT: Moments after writing the last paragraph of this post, I got a kernel panic.ĭepending on how things go, I may/may not need to revert these changesĮDIT 2: It appears that the kernel panics aren't a random occurrence, but rather something more pathological. Google web apps like Blogger and Picasa seemed to be hit the worst, though even Google+ image loading was affected. In fact, it's been really hard trying to upload photos and posts on my blog (like the one yesterday), as everything just kept timing out and/or randomly dropping out. After returning from holiday, my connection has been really bad and spotty. Last month, I started observing a few cases where wifi stability was really crap:ġ) At uni, where not only was signal strength weak, but the connection would frequently drop or refuse to connect, even after I fixed the logon issues,Ģ) it was impossible to use the wifi on this laptop in the lounge, especially with about 3 other devices nearby, yet this setup worked perfectly under Windows 8! After installing Linux for real though, I didn't encounter any more of these stability problems during everyday use. When I tried the LiveCD way back in late September/early October, wifi stability was spotty at best - frequently timing out, dropping out, and gradually getting slower as a session wore on. After almost 2 months of procrastinating and hoping that the default wifi drivers did in fact work well, I've finally bitten the bullet and gone ahead to replace the wifi drivers for my HP Envy 17 under Linux.
