<UNSOLVABLE>Ralink RT3290 driver compilation fails

Post by theSeppi »

I just installed Qiana on my new Laptop and am experiencing various driver issues. One of them is that of my Ralink RT3290 Wifi&BT card, only the WiFi works. So I decided to find a better driver (not the preinstalled rt2800pci). I found this quesion on Ask Ubuntu with a pretty detailed answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/253632/h ... rd-working

However, both methods don't work. Compilation fails with the following error (using the official site guide):

What can I do so the driver will compile? I don't need the BT neccessarily, but it would be nice to have.

It turned out that the rtbth driver doesn't work on "newer" (>2.6) Linuxes.

There is basically no possibility of using this driver unless someone creates a working patch. There is a patch, which makes the module compilable, but it's not possible to pair with any device.

It seems you can blame the manufacturer for this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... omments/13
