How to install wifi driver Ralink RT3290

I’m new to Ubuntu. How can i install wifi driver Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn? And please if you can help me step by step 😀 Thank you very much!

i have ubuntu 14.10 and kernel should be latest version, i updateted it. I’m not very good at this. I tried instaling with tutorilas on the internet, but allways something miss. When i try commands make install, it says there are errors

Aren’t the drivers included with Ubuntu? I have a Belkin F7D1101 v2 that uses the same chipset and it has worked fine in Ubuntu 13.10, 14.04. and 14.10.

Since Ralink does not patch the driver and the current version does not work, I provided a patched file that you can download and install following this steps

1. download the patched file from my private Google Drive directory.
2. open a terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + t ) and cd into the folder where the file is downloaded, e.g. cd ~/Downloads .
3. type

sudo tar -xvf rt3290sta-2.6.0.0.dkms.tar -C /usr/src 

sudo dkms install -m rt3290sta -v 2.6.0.0 --force 

The patch will work up to kernel version v4.14, it breaks on v4.15 onwards due to the change in the kernel timer implementations.

I cannot believe that a private directory on Google Drive is the only source for that file — even with best intentions it can be dangerous to install it. Please provide a link to some official source.

Yea too bad ralink is not bothered to correct issues and only provides a 2 year old source. I’ve just removed a few errors from ralink’s source. And just downloading the source will surely cause no harm. If you are so skeptical you could go through every line of it. peace

It is not about me. (1) This answer should be useful for a longer time. (2) we certainly don’t expect every user to sift through 4.5 MB of source code (even if you patch consists of only 360 or so lines).

@ThomasSebastian, yes. You need to 1) remove the patched driver from your kernel: sudo dkms remove rt3290sta/2.6.0.0 —all ; 2) remove the patched sources: sudo rm -r /usr/src/rt3290sta-2.6.0.0 ; 3) load the official driver instead of the patched one: sudo rmmod rt3290sta and sudo modprobe rt2x00lib . DISCLAIMER: not tested. The names might be slightly different. You should be able to reboot after the first two steps to make udev pick the official driver automagically.

RT3290 Ralink driver in Ubuntu 18.04

Step 1: Download the Ralink rt3290 bluetooth Driver Package Now the first step is to download the ralink rt3290 bluetooth Linux driver (rtbth-dkms) package. Download this driver file from below link:

Please Note: The current deb package of Ralink rt3290 bluetooth is only available for x64 based distribution for 32bit distors you need to manually compile the bluetooth package for more please follow this link.

Step 2: Install Ralink rt3290 bluetooth Driver After you have downloaded driver file, the next step is to install the driver package, Although you can install driver package via command line but we recommend Gdebi as it can install any debian package within seconds. If you don’t have Gdebi installer then please install it via Software center or just open terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type the below code:

sudo apt-get install Gdebi

Press Enter and when the installation succeed, Open the rtbth-dkms.deb file via Gdebi install and install the package.

Step 3: Run the Ralink rt3290 bluetooth module (rtbth) As you have completed above steps, now just after the installation finish, the next step is to check the bluetooth module- by typing below cmd in terminal:

Soon as you launch this command you will get message “init complete” this indicates that your module have been successfully loaded. If the terminal doesn’t gives you any output then its advisable to please check your bluetooth area whether the ubuntu detects bluetooth or not. (If it doesn’t then read the below steps)

If the first command doesn’t works then toogle your WiFi switch on off and again type:

And, Press Enter, You will see your Wireless or Bluetooth light which indicates your rt3290 bluetooth activated and you can now use your bluetooth adapter.

Step 4: Auto-Load Ralink rt3290 (rtbth) module at startup Now, the final step is to auto load the rtbth module at startup which prevents you from activating module at every boot. For that you need to add the module in modules.conf file.

All you have to do is to find Kernel module file and its Located in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

You can manually Browse this file in Nautilus or any other file manager. All you have to do is to run File Manager in Terminal by typing the command:

But if find this difficult then type in terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

It will open the notepad file of modules.conf and after that enter rtbth at end of file.

Just click on save and restart your PC and see if the modules load automatically.

RT3290 Ralink driver in Ubuntu

I have found that there is a large community suffering from the problems with the WiFi-Bluetooth card Ralink RT-3290. It has been a problem since 2012-2013. None of the solutions I’ve found is simple, effective and durable. I managed, with great effort, some results. But when there is a kernel update, the problems return. Can anyone provide a simple , effective and lasting solution?
Is there a project from Ubuntu’s developers to attack the problem?

The kernel developers weren’t getting any help from the manufacturer in this case and there is a special interface involved if I remember correctly

Thank you. I know that there is no help from the manufacturer. And the bugs are reported for a long time. Internet is full of refrencias and PPA to this particular problem with Ralink RT3290. I’ve tried everything. The rbth-dkms driver (with modifications and after hard work) does work (not perfectly) at least in kernel versions lower than 3.15. In that case, one skilled enough to adapt it to make it work adjusting to the new BT kernel API. My knowledge is not enough. So I am surprised that some expert community has not found an effective packaged solution. Because it is a widespread problem.

Generally, the answer above is a steps in a correct direction. There are only two steps missing.

Step-by-step solution Open new terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) and type as follows:

 sudo apt install git mkdir ~/tmp cd ~/tmp git clone https://github.com/alinefr/rtbth.git cd rtbth make sudo make install sudo cp -r ~/rtbth /usr/src/rtbth-3.9.3 sudo dkms install rtbth/3.9.3 sudo nano /etc/modules 

Add rtbth to the end of the file, then Ctrl + o and ENTER (to save the file) and Ctrl + X to close the editor

Then reboot and the new driver will be loaded.

This one worked for me to get the Bluetooth to be active and find devices, however, I didn’t succeeded to pair my Jabra play clipper with it, but that might be due to the Jabra device problems.

Anyway, you can try it out and share your progress with us
