When I installed ubuntu 13.04, and 12.10 on my current computer I lost the ability to use the RALINK 3290 wifi. I was able, in the past, to get it working by following the advice posted here. But after upgrading to 13.10 I am once again stuck without wifi and the normal solution is not working.

Here is the problem in more detail. I obtain the Ralink 3290 driver from either the vendor or the dropbox folder as described, no problem. I extract the folder and make changes as described if needed. I run the 'make' command, as the command is running I get several warnings and then when I try and 'make install' I end up with error:2

Here is the output when I run "make" and "make install" - http://pastebin.com/jQ8dd0PQ

Clarification: My wifi is not totally non-fucntional, it can see the various wi-fi networks around me, and it tries to connect to my favorite ones, but it never fully connects. It then just cycles through the various wifi networks, never connecting.

  • You didn't do what is written at the end of this answer. See extra guide. Do those steps, and it will compile fine. I tried this weekend – BЈовић Oct 29 '13 at 12:16
  • Yay! It's working, thanks @BЈовић. I lost my mouse for a few mins after running those commands and rebooting, but the wifi worked. After a rebooted a second time I got my mouse cursor back. – Hans Oct 29 '13 at 12:21
