Ralink linux driver 3290

Onthim

Note: Ubuntu 17.10 has a builtin driver ( rt2800pci) which performs good and usable.

Ralink. RT3290 is a PCIe device which combines 802.11bgn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 devices in a single chip. Currently, Linux kernel has experimental support for RT3290 wireless through the module named rt2800pci. The state of this module is such that in many circumstances you will have very weak wireless signals.

Ubuntu 15.04 comes with Linux kernel version 3.19 and the problem of weak RT3290 wireless signals is still prevalent since by default Ubuntu 15.04 will be using Linux kernel rt2800pci module. However, there is a official driver available for Linux from MediaTek for Ralink RT3290 STA wireless device. This driver will fix weak signal and many other problems on Ubuntu 15.04 based distributions. To install this driver simply download the following file and after extracting the file in the Home directory of your Ubuntu, follow the instructions in the ReadMe file inside the extracted RT3290 folder (You may need to shutdown computer and boot again to get it working).

RT3290 Linux Driver (Ubuntu 15.04)

After installing the driver hopefully you will have better wireless experience in your Ubuntu system 🙂

For fedora users, please try the following:

RT3290 Linux Driver

*Updated package for latest Ubuntu based distributions (tested against Ubuntu 17.04). Also suitable for Ubuntu 15.04 based distributions:

RT3290 Linux Driver (Ubuntu 16.04 or latest)

*If you update Linux kernel then you will have to run the following commands from the RT3290_u16 directory to compile and install the driver for new kernel:

./compile.sh
sudo ./install.sh

*If you do not see Wi-Fi network, you may need to activate it manually by executing the following command from RT3290_u16 folder or reboot computer:

sudo ./activate-net-rt

*If you are able to see WIFI interface but can not connect to any WIFI network then you should try wicd Network manager instead of default network manager for connecting to WIFI networks. To do that, on Ubuntu first install wicd network manger by entering following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install wicd

and then remove default gnome network manager of Ubuntu by entering following command:

sudo apt-get remove network-manager-gnome

Finally, restart computer and use Wicd Network Manger to connect to WIFI networks.

Cheers

The RT3290 WI-FI drivers for linux

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS running on Kernel 5.0.x, it compiles and improves performance of wi-fi signal greatly on this card.

I made this version seeing that almost nobody cared about this card, not even the original vendor Ralink which turned to Mediatek, who just care about the Windows version, and the version that comes with linux kernel out of the box has weak wifi strength as it’s more generic and using the drivers of rt2800pci.

Needs the dkms package from the distro repos or manually compiled. Can be gotten in Ubuntu derivatives by simply doing:

1. $: git clone https://github.com/Borwe/rt3290-linux-drivers.git 2. $: sudo cp -r rt3290sta-2.6.0.0/ /usr/src/ 3. $: sudo dkms install -m rt3290sta -v 2.6.0.0 --force 4. $: sudo reboot

1. $: sudo dkms remove rt3290sta/2.6.0.0 --all 2. $: sudo reboot

After installation, and reboot, you might see there is no wifi, but it’s just that the interface is put down on boot, you can make it auto start on start up yourself or run:

Here eno1 being the driver interface of the Ralink card that would be seen with a simple iwconfig

Forked driver for Ralink RT3290 Wi-Fi adapter for Linux Kernel => 3.11

While not fully stable, it works much better than rt2800pci kernel driver. If it stops to work, reload the driver. Bluetooth is not working. You need to recompile driver on every kernel update (or you could make DKMS from it and send me a patch).

comand for that (it will ask your user password to apply changes to system) : git clone https://github.com/pkeeper/rt3290sta.git && cd rt3290sta && make && sudo make install && sudo modprobe -r rt2800pci && sudo modprobe rt3290sta

Now you need to make it load on startup. Blacklist the «rt2800pci» driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add «rt3290sta» to /etc/modules.

cd to a driver directory, run make clean && make && sudo make install && modprobe rt3290sta

If someone could debug it and make patches, it could be pretty cool 🙂
