    Please edit your question to add details of your wireless device from the terminal: lspci -nn | grep 0280 Thanks. – chili555 Apr 24 '14 at 13:48
  • It says 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. Device [1814:3290] – Bube Apr 27 '14 at 09:11
  • Getting this device going in 12.04 is indeed tricky: http://askubuntu.com/questions/229195/wireless-driver-how-to-load-manufacturers-sta-file-ralink-3290/229198#229198 However, the driver is present by default in 14.04. I suggest you upgrade to 14.04. – chili555 Apr 27 '14 at 13:24
  • Okay. Will try it – Bube Apr 27 '14 at 20:10

it's my first reply!

I own an HP 650. When I purchased it, there was 12.04 LTS installed and the WiFi/Bluetooth card didn't work out of the box. So I followed the instructions available here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104690 Everything worked perfectly afterwards.

Now I've upgraded my PC to 14.04 LTS. Since I did this upgrade I got problems with the WiFi again. I was able to fix them following these instructions: http://www.dailylinuxnews.com/blog/2014/09/install-ralink-rt3290-wifi-driver-in-ubuntu-linuxmint-elementaryos/ The WiFi network is now working perfectly, but the Bluetooth. Since I don't use the Bluetooth, it's not a big issue, but the WiFi/Bluetooth button on my HP 650 is always "switched off" even if I press it many times.

I hope it helps.
